Olson) Organization: Lexington Software Design Lines: 24 You can certainly have more than one System File on your hard disk, even in a single logical partition. You cannot have more than one "Blessed Folder", but you can have more than one System Folder and switch the blessed one. This definitely works: Have two folders, "Sys 1" and "Sys 2", and a third folder, "NonSys". The inactive system folder should have it's Finder in the "NonSys" folder, so that it will not accidentally become blessed. To change the blessed folder, drag the Finder from NonSys into the new blessed folder, the Finder from the old blessed folder into NonSys, and then go back and drag the System and Finder _together_ out of and back into the new blessed folder. A folder is blessed by dragging both System and Finder into it simultaneously, but only if no blessed folder exists on the volume. A folder is un-blessed by dragging either the System _or_ the Finder out of it. -Eric I am not affiliated. Eric K.
