I'll see you there, 'cause I also have a question to TF> PM 5.0. ;-) I hope the moderator is satisfied with this method of transfer. I always (say 10 years), partitioned my hard drive to 4-5 segments to keep the operating system and Windows on one drive, my Data, photos etc on other, and all other programs again on another. I also had a virtual drive for keeping initially the original programs downloaded before I saved it to a CD. Further I had another drive for the swap file. I may want to add Linux to another drive to fool around with it. Now with the Win2K the dealer suggested not to partition, but did not explain why. I looked around and found basically 2 partition programs the Partition Magic I used in the past, and another from Paragon: Partition Manager. Neither is a shareware (only fully crippled demo-s are available for download), the latter is somewhat cheaper than the former. Martin Webster appears to be against partitioning, but I am not sure is this against using Partition Magic or any partitioning? Any expert or experienced users recommendation is welcomed before I mess up the new computer. -- Peter Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/11 on Windows 98 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
