No, not yet, Harry, but I like the option of just keeping a snapshot
of the OS. I'm a little confused about why you'd need FAT on the
partition that holds XP. I understand you want to be able to boot
from a floppy/CD to DOS because...well I lost that part. Anyway I'm
still reading about FAT versus NTFS.


If you've burned an image of HD and you've also got a snapshot of
your OS and you're regularly backing up your data/pics and so forth
to hard media, seems like you be covered three ways to Sunday.
