Are there any other folders that I should include? :) The I386 is if you want, in effect, the CD on your partition. Handy if iWindows ever needs to load some extra files but probably not likely to be a regular occurence, easier to just get the CD back out if that situation should ever arise. Uness your hard drive is enormous and you have tons of space. :-)	pctek (84)

I intend to give separet partitions to OS, Programs, Data and Ghost Image. I was thinking of restoring the OS from the Ghost image after partitioning C. Does that sound alright to you?	Vince (406)
