It's a bit clunky, but I presume you could do something with the contents of this site: http://www.drd.dyndns.org/index2.html The difficulty is that it might not be possible to combine a boot disk which gives you a DOS prompt with a hard disk partition which can be accessed from that prompt (I presume you're using NTFS under XP). What I was thinking of was: - set up two hard disk partitions, a big one formatted as NTFS and a small one formatted as FAT32; - put Rebel 12 beta 1, and nothing else, on the FAT32 partition; - boot using a Win98 or WinME boot disk. In principle this would appear to make the FAT32 partition available without booting into XP (98 and ME understand FAT32), but I'm not sure how (if) the older OSes would cope with the NTFS partition. (As a Linux user I can't test all this, but it sounds semi-plausible ;) Alastair
