I don't use my main pc for this but, regardless, I have never had this pc get infected. Nothing on the slave drive starts up since Windows doesn't. It seems to me it's a similar situation to having an infected email attachment. If it's not activated somehow, it can't cause any harm.

That is also the easiest way to infect a clean machine. Have that happen just once & you'll probably never do that again. -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
