If there is no downside to a separate partition, say 500 mb FAT, for BU NT, I think its worth while so as to avoid redundance. My first question is what is the purpose of the NT install on the KOT? If it is not bootable except from a boot from IDE1 would it not lose some of its value?? It intermingles the drives if my interpretation is correct. If this is the case would it not make more sense to have the backup NT install on IDE1? My understanding is one boots IDE 1, sees a boot selection for NT A, or NT B, or NT C... The alternate NT installs can be anywhere. What is the advantage of having the alternate NT install on the KOT? If drive IDE 1 fails or one sees a 'blue screen of death' will the alternate NT install be accessible from the KOT? If not what is the advantage? Zeuspaul
