[QUOTE="vur, post: 493259, member: 65198"] Hi HomeY, I note that you and infinityloop (in his Installation Guide) state the process of creating images both before and after MP is installed. What is the purpose of the first image please? On the same topic, infinityloop's guide also suggests certain apps (Firewall,Antivirus,Imaging) on C:\ and MP be installed on D:\ . Is it a good idea to install ALL apps on D to minimise HD wear and tear on the OS area which I presume is very frequently accessed. Also, he says that after installing MP if you have a single HD partitioned as C: and D: you should image only C: , and if you have two HDs you should image both C:\ and D:\ , or at least that is how I understand it. Since MP is installed to D with one or two HDs, wouldn't you want to image D in both cases? (Having just done a clean re-install of XP I am determined to have a squeeky clean system although it cannot be dedicated to MPortal alone. I have learnt much with the XP install (my first), but I think the answers to these questions will round out my knowledge and be clarifying to other people.) Yours in anticipation, vur [/QUOTE]
