I should've waited longer to see your response, since I just spent two hours restoring win 95 onto its original 2 gig partition. At least I found out that I could successfully do a full restore of windoze ... ;-) Heck, I had so much fun last night that maybe I'll go back and start all over tonight with 1 gig partitions. I love to hear the whine of the tape drive. Again, thanks. -- Rick
