Direct Image install...second thoughts The DI manual indicates an installation to WinNT must be in a FAT partition. And executed from DOS. I just reviewed the manuals and PQ's site. My FAT16 NT suggestion will not accomplish anything. In addition I assumed that PM or DI would convert formats. True but not for NTFS. PM will convert back and forth between FAT and FAT32 without data loss but I see no option in Partition Magic nor Drive Image to change from NTFS to FAT. Partition Magic is not an issue. Ver 4 has native support for NTFS..at least the way I read it. My thinking on Drive Image is you already have the best you can do. DI will not install in NT so second partitions will not accomplish anything wrt executing from the NT environment. Your two options for Drive Image are booting the KOT and booting from floppy. A small FAT partition at the end of the NT/Quantum drive might be a consideration. You could use this to keep a harddrive accessible Drive Image of ?? From my reading...Drive Image files have to be kept on a FAT or FAT32 partition if they are to be called from Drive Image for restore. Zeuspaul
