One advantage of a small Windows partition is that it's easier to backup. My C drive is only 10Gb and it's about 50% full. Only Windows and Program files live on C, any data (pictures, mp3s etc) live on D, which is 140Gb. I can easily boot from a USB stick and burn a Ghost image to DVD. This means I can restore Windows in about 10 minutes. Selective stuff on D I only perodically backup, and most stuff I don't bother. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
