VirtualPC simply allows you to install "virtual pc's" in your HardDisk, s= o you can have as many as you want, considering you have available disk space. Once you install Win2k or WinXP "virtually", just backup that partition to a CD, then whenever that "virtual platform" gets corrupted b= y some testing software, just erase the virtual thing, create again and restore the data from the CD, voil=E1, Win2k brand new in seconds. But you all knew that, right? /_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Wagner Lipnharski - UST Research Inc Orlando FLorida - USA - www.ustr.net /_/_/_/ Atmel AVR Consultant /_/_/_/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
