Just a question for you clever lot

[Gav]

Alright
Just making sure that it's ok for me to have two OS3.9 installs at the same time on my desktop??Probably a stupid question but i dont wanna take any chances at the mo.

One of them is for backup reasons of course but is actually on a seperate HD.
Thanks

Well there's not a problem there, long as it isn't a pirated copy of course.  Backing up your computer is perfectly fine.

Oh no i have a genuine 3.9 cd i was just t making sure my two installs wont conflict?

 The only thing you need is, when partitioning the "new" hd, select a different boot priority.

 When you need to use the "alternative" one, reboot, hold both mouse's buttond and select the partition to boot from.

and try to get it backed up on to CD as well.

This is a software question, why are you posting in the hardware forum?

But I can tell you that it is not a problem to have several system partitions, and a good security measure as well.
