Well I wasn't gonna make any ghost images and stuff before I knew the system was working properly. That what you were talking bout? The PC has been working perfectly so far. That means that I got a final win install to go, coz this current one was a rush/test job, and then I'll ghost the bugger. I just bought a USB HDD enclosure thats uses SATA so that solves another of my probs. When I get the gigabyte board replaced I'll use the remaining SATA drives jn that. Gonna sell the NAS box though. Transferring 400Gb of stuff (so I could format the IDE drives and install XP to them) over a 100mbps connection was just too painful

xp can be installed multiple times to any system. On the same drive, partioned drives, seperate drives. Dead easy - start another install routine and think thru the setup options as they present. Big deal, so what... Lets say C: XP D: Data E: Paging F: XP (backup) The install routine sets up boot options for each copy. C: goes South - just boot into F. Protect the mbr in bios and set F: drive hidden if you dont want it bothering you. This was the boot.ini from the browsing box l use- [boot loader] timeout=29 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /SOS multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /SOS It's a bit different now - l loaded up Zeta this morning to play with. This works and is a life saver. This was SP1 - but l can't see that anything in 2 will trip it up. There was XP - l got to know it. Then SP1, same... fuck the rest l said to SP2 and a constant stream of updates... l don't stay on line 24/7 anyway - it's dumb for so many reasons if u don't run a server. Another aid - Format your own drive for XP before it installs (fat32)- using the old system command and there u r with the drive bootable to the command prompt. It stays that way after XP is on board. Fat32 - who needs ntfs - it's a time bomb with ADS. |

He said he doesn't like ntfs and you can install multiple instances of XP on one machine. If one fails you just use another to fix the other one. He also said you can format in fat32 and set up the machine to boot to DOS before you install XP. Then at least if your system gets corrupted you can still access the root drive. I used to do the multiple boot thing for just that way back on NT4.0. The advantages to ntfs also create the difficulties if you have a failure. There are utilities that will allow you to read and write to ntfs from DOS, maybe not free ones, but it seems pretty simple to set one up to boot and run DOS from CD and a floppy... I haven't bothered since I haven't had any of these problems, and I always have more than one machine up at a time anyhow to work from in a pinch. I also keep the I386 folder of the windows setup disk stored locally on every machine
