re: There is ALWAYS an element of a gamble! Thursday, September 16, 2004 at 11:05 am Windows 95 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2207 messages posted) Windows, all versions, is complex, huge, and contains a goodly share of bad code. You always take a chance that an upgrade will fail disastrously, and should always have backed up anything you can't afford to lose. That said, one of the best reasons for multiple logical disk volumes (partitions) on a hard drive is to protect the data from an OS upgrade gone wild. That's only one reason. Simplified backup requirements is an even better reason. . Kiwi ** On Thursday, September 16, 2004 at 8:54 am, mark k wrote: >I have the same question - and I DO have the product code.
