On Fri, 6 Dec 2002 08:20:14 +0700 your time, you said: TF> I would use the C: drive as the boot drive, D: as the programs drive, TF> and E: as the data drive. At least, that is how my next machine will TF> look like. F: will be the backup drive, but it will be the second TF> physical HDD. I used to do it like that as well. But when I found some inexpensive USB 2.0 drive enclosures I decided to make my my backup drives portable. The good thing is of course you keep it powered down when you aren't using it, and it plugs straight into any USB port and shows as another hard drive. The new version of Ghost provides support for USB devices and it is a breeze imaging to a USB backup device, and restoring. Well worth it. Re the drives: if you caddy the primary and secondary drives you can try W2K without giving up on 98SE - I eventually stuck with W2K and have been very happy with it... incredibly stable OS. And to bring this somewhere in line with TB! because I feel guilty now about the OT topic ;-) if you have a USB memory card reader you can keep your TB! message base on a memory card instead of the hard drive...that's how I have it set up. I've got a small Sandisk USB compact flash card reader on my desk with a 128MB compact flash card stuffed in it. All my messages, my PGP keys, and certificates, etc. are stored the memory card. When I leave the computer I take the little memory card with me and my messages and keys as well :) In fact, the card is always with me when I'm booted down or away from my PCs. It really is quite an inexpensive way of keeping your messages safe, and very secure. - -- Sl�n, Simon @ theycallmesimon.co.uk ****************************************** PGP Key: http://pgp.theycallmesimon.co.uk/ Faffing about with TB! v1.61 on W2K SP3 #1097.
