-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Need the Most Efficient & Effective for Viral Removal

Cristy,
    When I said I would backup the entire OS volume, I meant make an image 
of it, just in case something went bad during the partitioning.  I would 
then be able to recover the original OS from the image if necessary, but it 
would still go to the same drive letter.

    By "install a second instance", I mean actually installing it from a 
Windows install CD/DVD.  I don't recommend imaging an OS to a second 
partition because all of the shortcuts and registry pointers will be 
referring back to the C drive instead of its new home.  It would be a super 
mess to try & clean up and I know of no one who has that kind of time or 
patience.      lol

    Sorry for any confusion there.

Peace,
Gman
