[or-roots] New computer

[Barbara Wulf]

Or with Windows 2000P you can partition the hard drive and use one partition
for data and another for the operating system.  However, either partitioning
or a physically separate hard drive does not protect from certain viruses.
Once one drive talks to the other the virus can spread.  [Does the same
thing on a network.]
