Backup copies of preferred XP operating system, activated on G3200 computer are on:
4 GB hard drive - virgin, leave intact.
6 GB hard drive - the XP version that is experimented with, will get trashed.
500 GB hard drive - main OS on first of 3 partitions
- backup of main OS on 3rd partition, copied this to a DVD.
Three partial copies, Sys32, etc on CD and DVD in file box, safe place.
Most apps get tried on 6G drive first for the things not told by the maker - effect on computer speed, ease of use, bugs.
ps- only one copy can be active at any one time, dictated by hardware and license.
