By 9:45 I was starting to think you really had blown up your machine just to prove a point. ;-) Ian > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 9:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: (clug-talk) XP, Win2k Advanced Server and Linux > > > I'm wrong. > > It won't even allow me to change it. > > Kev. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 9:14 AM > Subject: Re: (clug-talk) XP, Win2k Advanced Server and Linux > > > > I'll change my C: drive to a D: drive right now.
