I've used a lotin the past, and was planning on using it to back up a fresh installation of W98 and basic software so I could restore it all if I ran into installation problems later. But since I had to use Partition Magic anyway to set up partitions on this 20GB HDD, I took David's advice, and used PM to copy the 1st partition with the new OS installation to a 2nd partition. I hid the 1st partition, and when I ran into problems with those Tosiba Utilities conflicting with my Xircom modem drivers, I just deleted the 2nd partition, and copied a new copy of the 1st partition to a new 2nd partition. That seemd to be a lot more convenient than running Ghost in addition to PM... but there are endless variations of doing things. But I just wondered if in fact it IS in fact impossible to remove those Toshiba Utilities drivers easily (barring a dounting [sp?] registry operation).
