ZP would it not make more sense to have the backup NT install on IDE1? Hey..I'm just a student here.....Spots said to put it on KOT<gg> My humble understanding was that this backup install of NT would be bootable from the KOT drive as wellas w98. One would be able to do various repair procedures on the primary NT install from the KOT location. Or just run that copy of NT temporarily in an emergency need of an NT OS. If drive IDE 1 fails or one sees a 'blue screen of death' will the alternate NT install be accessible from the KOT? If not what is the advantage? Why would it not be accessible? Its just installed on ide 2 either in a dual boot setup in the w98 partition or as a secondary OS in its own partition. I was under the impression that you thought a backup NT on the KOT drive was a good idea and that you would implement your own KOT that way..... is my imagination playing tricks on me again/<g> Having the backup for the primary install on the KOT, to my mind, fits the utility description of a KOT drive. It is there as a bootable OS or OSs in case the primary drive or OS runs into trouble.. no? At least that is the way I have understood you to describe its function these many months. Clarence
