A single actual HD with multiple partitions isn't really a seperate

You wouldn't believe how many people i've met who kept an image on
'drive' D: without realizing the single HD present on the computer
would take both 'drives' south for the summer, with no plans on
returning should hardware failure occur with the HD.


I am talking about a separate drive. Drives are cheap. With SATA it is
also easy to mirror a drive.
