Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Windoze - Linux

I agree. I have Windows on one drive and Linux on the other. One precaution--I would unplug
your Linux drive before installing Windows. Plug it in again after install.

You can read the Windows drive from Linux. This makes backups really nice--write a script
in Unix to back up exactly what you want.
