Thanks to everybody who commented on this matter. I have all the precautions in place (one partition for experimenting with, and several for normal use---well, I do have 10 gig of disc to play with :-)).
I guess the only thing left for me to do is to decide if I want to see yet another spectacular crash :-). Cheers, Kin Hoong _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
