LOL Good line. My motto is, if you can't ask
an intelligent question keep talking. Only a small
percent of your listeners will catch on anyhow ... <g>.

was theoretically easier.
So much for that theory. In fact, now that I (more or
less) see what you're doing, or trying, you were probably
doomed anyhow because you would boot an NT version in
all its configured-as-you-go glory with apps to match,
which would have a different drive letter than it had
when configured.
I HAVE gotten that to work with NT itself
(which is actually pretty good at figuring out where it
is). But applications are generally, to use a highly
technical term, screwed. As some
of these aps run as low-level OS services (sound and
video cards drivers, for instance) they can keep you
from booting even though NT alone might succeed.
In fact, there's a kind of trap here, which is that
you usually fail in some low-level service or other
AFTER a successful logon, simply because NT can
figure out where it's at but the apps can't. At which
point your "Last Known Good" configuration has been updated to,
yep, you guessed it, the configuration that takes you
down. Oh, it's loads of fun, I tell you.
