Follup to original post: "Cloning Partitions... dont need it to be 
bootable"
_________________________________________________________________ 

Thanks for your help Kan... couple of questions remain.

First) If I do clone a System Partion to a System partion, but not 
the System of the computer doing the process, Is there any conflicts?

I am temporarily adding two drives from one computer onto another for 
the purpose of Copying a dying system drive onto a new drive. 
XXClone comes up with a message 
"The source volume you chose is not the current Windows directory is 
kept. Do you want to Continue?"
If I continue, will XXClone ignore the current Windows and only copy 
the other system volume I specified?


Second) In your reply you mentioned that you believe having more 
than 2 partitions would be silly. I like to keep data and the paging 
file off my System drive to allow for imaging to a single DVD. This 
way a virus or an install of a crummy program or any host of reasons 
to restore a perfect working copy of a system volume can be performed 
very easily. A clone partition is great for a first defense, but 
many scenarios can find that clone also becoming corrupt. 
But, my plan crumbles if I let my system partition become entangled 
in a huge 15 to 150 mega gigabite volume.

What is the downside to having more than 2 partitions? I would 
appreciate your feedback as I am always trying to improve my setup 
and provide the most versatile disaster recovery plan.

Thanks again Kan.
