Thurston, That is some strange behavior. The lesson I'd draw from it is don't expect your disk and OS's to behave predictably if you have at least one instance of WinXP on your disk plus an instance of WinXP or any other OS on the same disk. Maybe too general a rule to draw, but better to err on the cautious side. I've always put my backup OS on a separate disk, preferring to avoid the extra layer of complexity of having them on the same disk. Glad you were able to get things to where you wanted them. 5 hours is pretty small potatoes in my book of disk/OS-Hell stories. wily
