I think I am not getting my point out properly so I will try again.

I have a generic computer with a 300PII Intel processor a40 GB ata100 hard
drive on a promise card and 256 MB of ram. The hard drive is partitioned in=
to
3 drives. "C" is the primary DOS partition which holds Win98SE. "D" & "E" a=
re
logical DOS partitions in a extended DOS partition.
"C" is about 5MB, "D" is about 30 MB & "E" is around 5MB. I had a duel boot
system with Win2k on the "E" drive. I removed Win2k and deleted some files
(NTLDR) from the root of "C" that I thought belonged to Win2k. After doing
this I could not get back into my computer so I was forced to format the "C=
"
drive and install Win98SE and all my programs all over which took several
days.=20
Now, I have read where you could make a image of your "C" drive in it's
pristene condition so that if you ever crashed you could copy the image fil=
e
to the "C" drive and boot up the computer instead of going thru the entire
install process again. Is this a pipe dream or is it possible. If it is I h=
ave
no idea how to do it and need a step/step walk thru. I suppose it would be
done at the DOS prompt.

Thanks Again
