Maybe... But I for one would be making sure my saves were backed up, even if you can currently read them under Linux. You're better off making a partition of say 2GB for the XP boot drive, incidently, even if the games and so on are installed on a FAT32 drive. (I dual boot XP and 2000, 'cos I have a few programs which are XP- only now...) Dawn Falcon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
