This is as I suspected. I don't want to mess with the build because
it actually works flawlessly right now. What I've done is wiped the
drive, done a clean install of XP plus SP2 plus the software my wife's
firm requires. Then I've taken a snapshot of it with True Image.
Normall I run a bunch of other stuff including BitTorrent, but if she
needs to connect we just mount the clean BlackIce image and she's good
to go. When she's done I can flip back to my normal config.
I guess the only other option is to partition the main disc, put XP on
both so it can boot either way, have one setup for work and the other
for me. Will this work? If so, any recommendations on how to best do
it?
Thanks again.
