Thanks for the heads-up on that.

One would imagine that any possibility of harm would be minimal, in a read only
situation. Personally, as regards my multiboot setups, I *want* Win-32 to keep its
filthy hands off of anything that belongs to HPFS and OS/2. As in *totally not
even see* those partitions, and therefore ignore them. On a return basis, I can
live with OS/2 not being able to write to NTFS territory. Reading it -- or even
copying files off of it -- might be a nice option to have.

Then again, if SVISTA becomes something really great, I could envision dropping
Win-32 altogether. Or maybe I'd take a cue from Ray, and go the
1-OS-per-drive-tray route. (However, that is really not an option for the small
form factor box, which has just one h/d, in a non-removeable location.)
