Hello TBOT, I'm upgrading my PC to WinXP. I have used Win98 which has a multi-boot partitions. I have basically 4 partitions with the 1st 3 being for OS + Applications, and the last being an Extended partition for data & communication programs such as TB. This way I can Ghost restore my OS &/or data partitions quickly from a working partition stored on a slave drive. The slave drive is turned off in the system bios until necessary use is required. I use System Commander to create multiple boot system. It also provides the ability to have one message DB for my communication programs such as TB. I've used NT based systems at work, but have never configured one since they are already configured.
My questions are as follows: 1) Can you create an extended partition in WinXP? If yes, will the drive always be drive "D"? 2) Can you create a multi-boot system with WinXP? I probably should ask this question to V-Communications who sells System Commander, but maybe someone here already knows the answer. 3) If #1 & #2 are yes, then I should be able to install TB onto the extended partition. This was the same way I installed on Win98. If you have ideals as to what maybe a better configuration, I'd appreciate your feedback. With my present configuration when it is necessary to restore individual files, I just recognize the slave drive in the bios, then reboot & copy individual files. I run AV & AT programs. I periodically scan my system with the AV program, but it is debatable as to the effectiveness of this on trojans. BTW, Allie & Marck I double posted to TBUDL & TBOT because I thought other in TBUDL may have an interest. If to much OT in TBUDL just say so.
