I have to agree, I just re-partitioned my OS drive with was 2GB to 6GB and I now have almost 65% spare system area, should last me another 7 years :-) I simply maintain an off line HDD with a duplicate of my current OS in case of problems. I have many other partition and system and network drives all of which are substantially larger than my OS drive. My applications are installed only on my OS drive and no user data is stored in my OS drive including my desk-top and other profile data. Having no experience with XP though I don't know what degree of control the OS authors have taken away from the user in order to make it more "user friendly" :-( Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
