so can partition the new HD, move the old stuff to it and try for a dual boot. XP and ME keeping the old drive as a slave for backup, or perhaps just leave the old drive in and try to run the second boot from it. Having the second drive for backup appeals to me. Since it's probably smaller, compressed backup images should fit nicely there. If it's big enough to handle all the images you'd want from the new drive and still has room for operating system plus applications, I'd partition the old one too accordingly. That way in the event the new drive physically failed, you could still operate from the old one. Enjoy your computer weekend. :-) Esteban
