if these limitations are for real then that would mean on our two IDE drive computer, which are both on the same IDE controller, correct?, the total number of partitions between the two drives could not exceed three? There are primary partitions and extended partitions. I am talking about primary partitions. Primary partitions contain the OS. A standard setup would be one primary partition and then as many extended partitions as you want. (as long as you do not run out of letters in the alphabet) I still do not know if the limitation is per controller or per drive. There may be a lot of variables that affect this. All I know is that when I had four primary partitions on one IDE drive and one primary partition on the other IDE drive the copy partition option disappeared for both IDE drives. The same option was still available on the two SCSI drives. This will only affect the KOT concept. What it means is there is a limit to the number of clones one can keep on the KOT drive. Three clones is more than enough to work with. Zeuspaul
