Hi Shikher, You really should post this to the blind-computing list. Although I don't believe you be able to accomplish this, the subject is better suited for another list rather than the Jaws list. If you want to post it there, or contact me off-list, I'll be glad to explain about what you are wanting to do. Richard Q.

hello and thanks first of all, about Jaws, its ok... secondly my question about dual booting was some different. in my lapi, there are four drives(c:, d:, e:,f:) and configuration is also suitable for dual booting. now come to the point, i want two drives i.e. c: and e: for XP and d:, f: for vista. i don't want to show d: and f:(vista's partitions) while i'm in XP and similar during running vista not to show XP's two partitions to avoid infecting both OS files from virus if virus comes during work in one OS. and to keep data private. i want two- two partitions one for instaling OS and second for keeping data. actually i had both XP and vista instaled at my laptop previously but due to virus infection at my both drives which had XP and vista, i had to reinstall. now i'm running XP only. that's whyy.... i think i've cleared my querey. with regards shikher goyal On 5/27/09, Brian Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Shikher, > > JAWS can run from a thumb drive with a few restrictions.
