Glad it was helpful, Clarence. The nice thing about having PM and DI is that you can always change the partitions later, as you grow comfortable with them. Here's one thought: assuming adequate hard drive space, you can always try out NT on the C: partition (i.e. one big partition strategy,) then add a second NT partition on a newly created D partition when the spirit moves you. Then the old C: partition can become the emergency/backup NT OS install.

I would attempt such partitioning later as per Spots prudent thinking and maybe a little more back and forth here as to the merits of each My first impression is Dave's partition strategy is for a seasoned NT user. It requires a little more NT savvy to setup than the single NT install with the KOT utility/restore setup. I am not a fluent NT user so it is difficult for me to get a 'feel' for the differences. I do intend on rereading his post..it will give me something to contemplate on the way to work. I always take Dave's concepts seriously. I believe the common ground is the PowerQuest Partition Magic / Drive Image combo. Zeuspaul
