Was there free space at the end of the drive per your memory?

Some..don't remember how much. Bur it was at the end of the extended partition.

Did you make a clone of the KOT at the end of the primary NT drive? If so you could use that as a restore AFTER you recover your files.

Yes...its practically virgin. Actually its only a clone of the primary partitioon of KOT there were also three logical partitions not included in that clone.

Where does the free space start?

I'll have to check. opps I checked. I was mistaken. There is no free space on ROMO. Its one bbbbbig partition. But yes to your question is it the least risky. Because its all backup.

One option might be to move the partition on the ROMO towards the 8 gig barrier..risky if you try to move it beyond the 8 gig barrier, then put a primary 2 gig FAT partition at the front of the ROMO. Just thinking out loud here..do not make any rash moves until we think the ideas through.

And install the restore where? I hope to restore all four KOT partitions. Would the KOT primary be restored to the new 2 gig ROMO primary? Working with one partition restore at a time to a mirror of it on the ROMO might be a thought.
