No, it doesn't migrate anything.  (that's not what I meant)  What I was 
pointing out was that OSR2 when installed to a machine that already had 
WinNT 4.0 on it, would not disturb NT's boot files or goober the boot 
sector unlike Win95A which will disturb everything.  (requiring the use 
of the repair disk to get NT 4.0 back to boot status)
I have installed OSR2 twice over my current WinNT 4.0 installation 
without problems.  Of course to a different partition/directory and also 
without invoking FAT-32.
