What I meant by unstable is of course the problem lies where both Windows 2000, and Windows XP can see FAT32 partitions. When that happens and there is another OS on the other partitions when you install programs there can be problems due to the installation program finding two distinct operating systems on the computer. I have _always_ found everything runs smoother with only one OS and so far Windows 2000 does everything for me. I am currently using Windows XP on my system due to I am running Amyan in CCT4 and the author likes the OS. I do not however. After the CCT4 it will be removed from my system. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Windows 2000 is the optimal choice, so why fiddle with it?
