How refreshing! And just when I was begining to feel... strange and 
different. You know, creating an OS partition that could be 
completey rewritten ("Restored" forbid) in under 3min., by moving 
everything out of it that could be. Why, the very idea of restoring 
the part that goes wrong vs. switching complete drives was begining 
to feel... somehow wrong! Granted introducing an element of 
complication. (OMG, you have to Edit a Registry file to boot the 
copy!)

Thanks! DES
