[QUOTE="gorblimey, post: 946891, member: 65556"] Starting back in DOS2... When some idiot decides to Format C: and all the owner's (not me) data vanished in a cloud of erased FATs. I had my box partitioned the next day, and a second drive 3 months later. I don't segregate softwares, there's little if any point; but user data should never under any circumstances be stored on the Windows partition. Ever. For any reason. At all. HDDs are better, more reliable these days, but excrement happens and there is good reason to keep C: as a small (500MB) fast drive so if it does crash your data should be safe. Youse do do backups, don't you? [/QUOTE]
