Clearly Partition Magic is in my future. <g> Do I need disk-copy too? Don't want to get to elaborate. KISS works well - but what about when only YOU think the setup is simple?

Yes to Partition Magic..skip Drive Copy but get Drive Image. Drive Copy is incorporated in Drive Image.

Partition Magic has become a basic utility IMO. It can be used for anything to do with creating , changing and resizing partitions.

Drive Image is a great backup program. Nothing elaborate here. Make a backup file of your primary partition and keep it on another drive or partition. It will then be available for quick restore ( in one of those rare cases that Win/NT skips a beat:)

The above comment only address a quick restore option..it is not a backup strategy.

What is KISS?

The NT disk is bootable..just put it in the CDROM drive and turn on the machine to install NT. (mobo bios must support CROM boot option, most new ones do)

Congratulations solving the cable problem!
