Bob and Jack...thanks for the advices....ie do it all on my own HD with new wallets....

So... by `new wallet` do you mean `create new wallet address` in Qt wallet, or make a totally seperate instance of Qt syncing to a totally seperate version of the blockchain on my HD?(I can copy and rescan the one`s I have for instance....so then there would be four of them on my HD, is that what you mean?)

My BCC wallet has currently a different address to my Btc address and is syncing to a seperate version of the blockchain on my HD...so when I import keys or dat...it will momentarily have the same address as my btc wallet right? Then I send to my unique BCC address....on its own seperate copy of the blockchain....and then the BCC is safely seperated.

Then once seperated....is it safe to continue using my original Btc address? Or will I need to use the one I send to that will hold the btc during this process? I`ve heard it said NOT to use from then on...why would that be necessary?

This process will be needed for each fork....BCC, BTG...and BTC2x?? But can be done after they fork and prove stable ?

Thanks again....
