you were probably doomed anyhow because you would boot an NT version in all its configured-as-you-go glory with apps to match, which would have a different drive letter than it had when configured. Yep...your follow thru logic is once again on the money. Those damn changing drive letters are an endless source of delight, aren't they.. now that I (more or less) see what you're doing, Would you say the ONLY way to accomplish this would be to have the second computer loaded with an NT version in all its configured-as-you-go glory with apps to match, as C: is? My additional removable hdd idea would suffer the same fate from drive letter changes. The idea of having a second operations os, ready to go in the face of a primary os failure, is a good one. Thanks for bringing it up <gg>... oh, and thanks too for pointing out why it would never work..<G> I know..oour interpretations differed a bit.
