Hi,

Your multi-session-banking-DVD+RW uses its dated save files and never any other save file.

Whether you use a CD-R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW it does not affect what boots from where - it's the multi-session that makes the difference.

I don't believe I would have a problem with 5.6.1 or 5.7.1, but I specifically asked if you have a Precise iso of 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 or 5.7 then you shouldn't either and you could (not should) copy the sfs to your hard drive for a faster boot.
Also your Wine installation is huge just to support the minimal banking data needed from your .exe file. You could (not should) investigate an alternative and tiny Linux solution.

Just test - it's quick and easy to make banking DVDs and rename folders and files on your hard drive to see what then happens when you reboot.

By jings your right! :D
I put the precisesave+SFS files back in their folder on the internal HDD...
The "Precise-5.6.1-ataflash" on the CD-RW used the files...
And the "Precise-5.6.1" on the multi-session DVD+RW ignored the files.
Well, er, it may have used the SFS file, 'cause it loaded rather fast.
That's GREAT!
Now I can use both disks. :D

2. I'm reluctant to change away from "Acerose Password Vault".
If I tried it, how would it be done?
How should I move all of the contents from the APV to some other smaller Linux password vault?
And which one?
Know any good ones?

Hi Sylvander,

You only need your bank passwords on your banking-only-DVD. So just investigate or start a new thread - and forget moving and instead re-enter only your needed data.

Look in your menu for remastering and read the opening note.

Your banking-DVD works. So this is my final post here.

What a great idea. :D
Thanks for that.

2. By-the-way...
Having tried number-1 in my previous post...
My treasured Slacko "Slacko-5.5.91-ataflash" CD-RW failed to boot.
"Machine Check Error". :(
I'll have another go at getting it to boot.
Thank goodness Precise-5.6.1-ataflash has booted to bring me here.
