-=PCTechTalk=- Rose's Supplement thread

Don,
    Excellent catch, my friend!!!  I can't believe I neglected to include 
the option of cloning the OS drive.  I recall that I did that the first time 
I installed a second drive (Actually, I manually installed Win98 on the 
first partition of two different drives, made one a slave of the other and 
discovered that they automatically took the letters C & D, even though there 
were several other partitions on the first drive).  That was a big 
revelation for me back then.  Unfortunatly, that method doesn't add the boot 
menu, but it was still cool to know that I had a fully functional backup OS 
just in case something went wrong with the C partition.         :O)

    I intend to bring up the letter assignments rules soon under the main 
thread.

Peace,
GMan
