It's easy on Linux, specially with grub. The trick is: have two primary partitions, one of them active, none hidden. There is a command in GRUB to change tha active partition "on the fly" prior to boot. The advantage is that nothing needs to be special, each run in C: and the other is still available (at the last letter) Alain ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
