Like I said, long story and mostly a winders thing. I probably wouldn't have the issues in house that I had with my laptop. Being dedicated to customer support I was always installing something under winders that I'd rather not just because I had to support it for a paying customer. In house I wouldn't have to do that, so winders wouldn't get so "windows - ish" on me. But if I'm going to partition, I'd just as soon leave two hard drives in the machine. >From the first part of your post, I'm left with the distinct impression that I probably don't want to fool with installing on fat32. My memory of what I read is vague at best (comes with old age) and it's "old information" anyway. Thanks for the response. Joebewan
