==================
Hello All,

I got pi##ed off with W98SE and the many BSoDs.

I pulled the 20GB HDD, inserted a 40GB HDD, installed Windows 2000 Pro, got
SP4 and all the other updates / upgrades / fixes...  Life is great (and so
is W2k)!

There were some files on the W98SE drive that I needed to pull off, so I
disconnected the 40GB HDD, connected the 20GB HDD, copied my files to the
XPP box across the network, powered down and swapped the drives again.

When W2K powers up, it sees the other two HDDs that I forgot to unplug (a
6GB, partitioned 50%/50%, and another 20GB, one partition).  Not a big deal
I figure, except when I tried to read the first partition of the 6GB drive,
W2K cannot read the drive and wants to format it (I can read/access the
files on the second partition of the 6GB HDD and the 20GB HDD is good
also).  Is there any way that I can make W2K see the partition or should I
let W2K format the drive?

Also, I thought that I had all the service packs / updates / upgrades /
fixes, so I made Mozilla Firefox my default web browser.  I guess Micro$not
snuck in an "AutoUpdate" program because last night I got a little balloon
on my task bar that there were two updates to be downloaded and installed.
The upgrades can't be downloaded and applied because IE is NOT my default
browser...  Is there some way to toggle IE as the default browser
(temporarily)?

           Thanks ... Gerald
