If not, why not?!
How would you feel if your windows died, or your harddisk decided to corrupt itself one day randomly?
My XP was installed in 2003 and has been 100% stable ever since, I have tons of programs installed, and over 150GB of data.
Yesterday my harddisk decided to corrupt itself and now windows wont boot.
What would you do if it was you, and you didnt have a back up of all of those mp3s you love, all those pictures/photos you could never replace?
Thankfully, I planned for this and have all my data on a seperate drive, (and dvd backups) so I can install windows on a new drive, and still have all my data.
Its surprising how many people dont have backups of their most important data, or never think to do it.
I had it drummed into me when I worked as a computer engineer, it was always hard not to laugh when when seeing a managers face when going to a site to fix a system, ask for the backup to restore the data and to be told they hadnt done one!
You have been warned!!
