And I'd turned off the dual-boot feature; it's back on again. I feel like I'm back in the same boat I was in before, though. What next? Should I try the whole thing again?

Advice on dual Op Systems
My plan is to add another 40gb hd, install Win XP and have a dual boot. How does that sound? Some literature I have talks about this but on one hd that has a second partition. I think it says that when you boot, XP will ask Win98 or xp. So will this idea work? Thanks.

Dual Boot advice anyone?
Although a little tedious and takes a bit of extra time, far safer than a dual boot would be to swap images on the OS disk for a single-boot system.

Do you use a special boot manager? Trent: No. I use MS's dual/multi boot manger (uses the boot.ini file) included with all NT based op systems (NT, Win2k, XP, Win2k3 server, SBSxx). IIRC, as a test, TechTV setup a computer for 16 op systems using the NT based boot mgr. Alex Nichol consistently recommends BootIT NG
