Spots I suspect a reason in your case; you installed them while running an OS located on scsita yup The result of that will be that the registries in both OSs will reflect the install to the same location. Sean suggested this to have one program folder for Backup Exec accessable from either drive by installing twice(once to each drive) from the same location. But the changing drive letters upon a reboot was messing up BE s catalog as Sean said it would. His fix for the problem was over my head so I went back to one install of BE. IF these aps update the registry and/or ini files in the Windows directory, you're two os's will get out of synch. That's exactly why running the same app from multiple OSs makes a mad man under the bleachers with a sharp stick feel like your buddy by comparison. Ouch..lol, interesting phraseology Spots... So.. then installing from the other OS is not recommended, I take it. Then we're back from wence we came..or am I misunderstanding you. Since I don't know 'IF these aps update the registry and/or ini files in the Windows directory', seems like sometime somewhere they would, then that would be reason enough not to install from the other drive.
