Hi Mauriat, Tks for your advice. Visisted boodisk.com. Which boot disk shall I download; --> DOS/Windows9X/Me/NT/2K/XP Excellent Bootdisks W2K Pro: (4 floppies) Disk1 | Mirror Disk2 | Mirror Disk3 | Mirror Disk4 | Mirror OR makeboot.exe | Mirror makebt32.exe | Mirror OR NTFS Bootdisks And Bootable CDs Which of them will be easy to run for my application. The W2K to be installed is for reference only. I'll not run it for production. OR > Or an alternative is to use the NT boot loader (NTLDR). Please explain in more detail. TIA > ps. Don't forget about your SWAP partition. Oh yes, tks. B.R. SL
