Ok, well, here goes.... The SUM shield INIT is used in the same way as it always was. It will ONLY protect files that are on the STARTUP disk (the one the INIT was run off of). So in otherwords, KEEP ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET and pray that shield will catch it before it falls.... Ok, the other questions about the partitions are interesting ones. The Mac treats each partition as a seperate drives, so when you move a file onto or off of a partition it will copy it. I would assume that the partition would be protected because if it is on the startup disk. The thing with shield and vacine, well, vacine has kicked in a number of times that sheild didn't do anything about it. But only in things like the Installer that were modifing the system file. Shield is supposed to only protect the VTOC on the HD, nothing else.... I don't know how many, just watch out for the 50,000 mile blues.... Mark Cookson
