Thanks for the reply jmmijo.
More or less I'm wondering what other useless data is installed on the ME HDD during this process and if any program files are modified as well. I will actually find out this by running Ashampoo uninstaller before moving ME to slave, but hoping someone would step up and say "no worries" or "don't do it"
WinMe is the first OS I have experience with, so I hope you all understand the concern (marriage).
Thanks again,
