Sometimes, even that isn't enough - especially when you are me. I have been through all the requirements to properly back up data and such which is followed to the letter on my machine @ work cos it does have vital data. For my home computer however, the amount of work required to do all these things seems to be far too much work to do to merely minimize risk - and I tend to get at with it MOST of the time. And if it wasn't for plain utter stupidity, it probably would've have been fine as well. There wasn't really any vital data on the HD anyway and i suppose a full re-install would be easier than going through all the backup procedures. This also gives me an opportunity to repartition better to start off with. Thanx for your help and also for the link to the partitioning mini-FAQ - I've been looking for something like that for ages.
