Ali, I can see how you might have figured it was something to do with PM that caused such a slow file transfer speed. I often clock my own transfers, which nowadays are in the range of 4-5MB/sec, never above 5MB/sec. I've got Maxtor 7200rpm drives with the 80 wire cables and running on ATA33. cpu is celeron 450. DMA enabled. What is limiting me here? wily

Ali, BTW, have you ever experienced installation of NT4? More times than I care to remember:-( And W2000, W98, W95, W3.1, MSDOS (various), Unix (various), CP/M (various) and real-time kernels for embedded hardware. BTW - I do agree that he probably messed up somehow, but I don't think he was an idiot for using partition magic - I know many people who have used it without problems. However, I have never used it myself - I prefer to do such things by hand so I know exactly what is going on (well, so I have a better idea of what is going on). John
