BTW, I have a little ~3 page doc available giving suggested partition
layouts for both single and multi disk systems for dual-boot. There's a
little bit on what needs to be backed up and what doesn't. There's even a
method detailed for the speediest reinstallation of a bad Windows system
w/o losing your data or appllications. Using this method, I can
completely (including applications) restore my Windows side of things in
under two hours!
I had it posted somewhere on the web but can't remember the URL off-hand.
If anyone's interested in having a look, give me a shout and I'll hunt
down the URL.
