Joe,

JD>What if you have only one drive with one partition?  

  Reminds me of a setup I encountered a few years ago. A BBS user had found a
unique computer setup. It had a 3.5" and a 5.25" inch floppy drive on it, but
no hard drive...as well as a monochrome green monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse.

  Well, I used the Windows 98 CD to create a 3.5" startup disk for him, and to
load a copy of COMMAND.COM -- then on a 5.25" disk, I put the terminal version
of GT Power BBS software on it. So, with just that, he was able to logon to my
BBS (dial-up only at the time), and play the doors, read messages, etc. So, he
was using a computer with basically no OS and no hard drive, but accessing a
BBS with it. :)

  I'm now running a hybrid system of sorts. VADV-PHP (Virtual Advanced) is the
website interface, with GT Power 20 now on the telnet side.
