What the hell are you waiting for? Go make some now!

I will as soon as I'm done recovering what I just accidentally deleted (should only be 2-3 hours).

I tried that before, but Windows gets bitchy that you're playing with files you shouldn't be.  I had no problem dong that on Linux, though :/

I have all of my media and a lot of installers on my d drive. All the important stuff goes there basically. Like I copy over inetpub there after any big project. This allows me to reinstall painlessly. I just reinstall windows, then run a few installers that I already have, and I am all set.

Due to controversy, I do not guarantee that the operating system is installed on C:.  Is my joke flawless yet?

Recovery complete. I underestimated the time, though. 4:12 AM -> 7:57 AM == 3.5 hours + minor delays.

Seriously, make backups.

You can't fit crap on that. Why not just get another hard drive for backups, like a 20gig, you can get those for cheap. Just put it in your system as like e: or something. Or get a usb hard drive.

But. e is already my cdrom drive!

If both drives are ntfs, you can mount it in a folder.  So C:\backup could actually be on a different disk, kinda like Linux does.

But those sticks are pricy. You could get a second hard drive for less which was what I was going for. I think those little flash mem sticks are a rip. If I need to move files or back stuff up I would just use my mp3 player. I have a 40gig nomad that I am trying to fill with music. So far I have 15gb of metal.

$50 for a 256mb flash memory stick isn't bad at all, I would recommend getting one they're pretty useful and relatively inexpensive.
