If only it were that easy. OS installs are the thing that this feature would most help. They take ages, do a huge amount of writing with lots of seeking, and if the host fails you're going to discard the image. I'm not sure how I would change that setting for most OS install GUIs, especially Windows, or if it's even possible. It's usually much easier to change barrier settings after installing and you've got a command line or registry editing tool. But by then, it's not useful any more. Any other ideas? -- Jamie
