I am going to leave well enough alone for now. I will image the entire
drive sector by sector to an external drive and do regular incremental
backups.
Since I use mostly portable apps and store almost everything on an external
drive it is not a major inconvenience if problems arise later. A simple
restore or I could even do a full clean install of both systems using my
nLite and vLite install disks.
My next adventure is placing the Outlook mail store and contacts on my
external drive.

P.S. Whatever happened to that wild and reckless maverick I used to know
and love and hate?

Nothing happens on 'its own', except for the bad things. lol
Don't Move anything. Copy them to the XP drive and then 'hide' the
originals in a new folder right where they are now. If this were two XP
operating systems, I would then go into the boot.ini file and make sure both
boot pointers are looking in the right places for the two OS's. Since this
is BCD setup now, I have no clue how to double check that part.
With that done, try booting into either OS. I suspect one will work and the
other won't, but I can't quite get my head around which will be which. The
answer will dictate the next move (perhaps running the EasyBCD utility will
allow he easiest 'fix' at that point).
On the other hand, it may just be best to leave well enough alone if it's
allowing you to currently boot into both. :/
Peace,
Gman
