zp Drive Image is not an NT executable The DI/NT relationship continues to be out of focus for me. I can't wait for PQ to make DI native to NT so I can just forget all this ambiguity. I was thinking DI just was not compatible with NTFS but would work in a Fat partition on the same disk as NT. But your saying DI just won't run (ie open or execute) under NT? You will have to boot Drive Image from a floppy or other in order to restore a Drive Image from the FAT partition at the end of IDE1 to IDE2. Not at all eligant but possible as a temporary solution. My proposal (well, one of my proposals<g>) was to use Partition Magic to clone Win98 to the tail end of IDE1 and then hide the partition. If it does cause a dual boot in NT I would recommend hiding it. Is the only reason for hiding the w98 partition on ide 1 to avoid a dual boot? When discussing these issues from now on I will use 'clone' for PM and for DI the term would be 'image'. I used to think these terms were interchangable. Clarence
