Since this upgrade I did a System State once I had converted to Win2k. Even with some problems I was still encounting due to hardware compatibility issues! When these issues were resolved I used the System State to realize the changes I had implemented. Back then I didn't know that the size of the file was continuing to grow until I decided that (couple days ago) since all my compatible issues and all have been resolved since, I anticipated in thinking I should delete the one I first started out with and make a new one. The only thing I saw was that my 1st System State had grew to a 950mb in size. Now, the new one which I had done recently is about 227mb. I want to know was this a good idea? If not, can you explain why it wasn't! Im pretty nervous, that I hope Ive havent done something potentially dangerous! Cheers	Guest (0)

If it is this option, then you've not done anything bad, just create a new one using 'ntbackup' It's not likely to be a leftover from your 98 OS is it?	Guest (0)
