Maybe I misremembered, but I was under the impression that you
originally grew your boot partition to full size of the
disk, which was 13 gb. That's my memory, which might
(can you imagine?) be wrong <gg>. Or maybe you were lying <GGG>.
It was the partition with NT, not necessarily the boot
partition itself (though I remember being under the
impression it was both at the time).
BTW, on an entirely different topic ...
I just bought a Yamaha 4416s CD-RW drive from buy.com
for $228 + $11 shipping. What a great piece of gear that
is. Comes with Adaptec packet-writing driver so you can
use it like a big floppy drive, and also an older version
of Easy CD Creator (2.5 I think, which I don't need but
what the heck), and other stuff. Two MB buffer.
It took at least 7 minutes to install, 4 of which were getting
the cover off the box (it helped that I already had the
Flashpoint scsi card with a free cable connector <g>).
In 20-30 minutes I wrote
600 mb to a CD-R by drag-and-drop
from Windows Explorer across the lan, closed the CD in ISO 9660
format, took it to another machine which, to my knowledge,
has never heard of Adaptec, and was able to access it
from the CD-ROM drive. Presumably
this CD is accessible anywhere multisession CDs are supported
(must try DOS). Never exceeded more than about 15%
cpu utilization on either end of the transfer.
In short, I am VERY impressed. This is about as powerful an
ad hoc backup tool as I can imagine (planning to
automate it).
One of these days I may even burn an ordinary CD <gg>.

all I know you folks have posted ad nauseam on this
