glc, TwoRails,

Thanks for the help guys, and thank you too Pam.

I made a 25GB partition for XP and the essentials, and the rest for all the extras.

I felt it would be much easier to keep an image of the clean install on "C" and then work from there each time with new/updated images of the "D" drive.

p.s. glc, I have another Apricon "ez bus dtc" on the way from Newegg, I love their enclosures. I picked up 2 of the Seagate 250GB PATA HDD from CompUSA last night for $49 ea after rebates etc. I should have plenty of room for all kinds of "junk"

and backups now.
