Dual Boot....Disk Isolation I created the D: drive as a partition on my C: drive with Partition Magic. I then used Drive Image to make a backup file of my C: drive. So far so good, D: has one file. I installed some new software to the C: drive ( Excel, Word, and Windows on Wall Street). I do not know how or who but I now have some files ( ffastun.ffa, ..fll, ..ffo, and fastuno.ffx.) Is it possible to keep Win95 ( or NT ) contained? It might be tough maintaining two computers in one box if the OS decides to write files to drives as it sees fit. I think Win95 and NT could be kept totally isolated if the Win95 drive were formatted FAT32 and the NT drive were formatted NTFS as neither OS can read/write the format of the other. I doubt that there could be any interference. I would like the third and forth options as well, Win98, NT5 on third and forth drives. How would one contain Win95 and Win98 (NT4-NT5) on their separate drives? Zeuspaul
