I have an old Pentium laying around that just might work. I have my 40g HD partitioned and the OS selected via a boot manager. Each partition is under 10g. An additional 80g drive (as D:) is used for backup. Fresh images of each of the main drive partitions are kept here for emergency along with an incremental backup. These images are also kept externally on CDs. Applications, compilers etc., are actually installed to the D: drive to reduce storage and backup requirements. Works well for me. |
