He he :-) I just bought my fourth external USB drive. 460 Mb of disk storage just wasn't cutting it so I got a new 300 Gb one, just for backups. VM's actually account for a lot of that space :-)

Ah okay, though I don't think I can afford a true partition right now, let alone a full physical drive.

Hmmm, I don't know if I have that enabled. I'll look into this and try and disable it. Thanks for your suggestions, really useful. Regards, Nish

I found the article I used when I was optimizing last fall: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Tuning-Virtual-PC-Performance.html Looks like most of the ideas have been suggested.

Getting better although I won't be retiring anytime soon... :-) Things are cheap here in Bangkok[^]. I just bought 2 Gb of SODIMM memory for about USD $325. The 300Gb drive cost about $160, a case another $20.

You are in Bangkok now? YOur CP profile still say Australia though. And yeah, those prices seem low. Regards, Nish
