1. Did it (not a masochist)
2. Do that
3. Don't Do that (no partitions)
4. Don't have it
5. Do it once a month
6. I must not be a power user because I have never had a problem so no lesson taken, never learned.

Yeah, I'll have to have a total failure on my desktop and laptop before I learn something, it just hasn't happened yet.

Sorry I was just pulling your leg a wee bit. :)
Honestly though if it's a desktop and you can swing it buy a small hard drive, a 40GB drive can be had for nearly chicken feed these days. Use that for your OS and use your original drive for personal data and ghost backups.
Just a suggestion. Sorry for busting your chops earlier ;)
