LOL, wrong. Having a single partition means little to nothing. If the drive fails it doesn't matter how many partitions you have. If you want to organize then all you need a folders. If you want slower file access, massive fragmentation, etc... then you use lots of partitions.

A partition doesn't fail, and anything that could corrupt it would corrupt others. If you're talking about the OS being corrupted, that doesn't mean the data is corrupted and can easily be moved to another disk or just do an in place repair.

I read your article and enjoyed it. I always do because you have the ability to write clearly, concisely and logically. In that article, you pointed out that if Windows is reinstalled a new, fresh registry is created and that if someone had hoped to avoid having to reinstall programs by having them on a separate partition then that new registry just messed up their hope. True; however, I'd like to suggest a way around that... One can make backups of the registry and use a backup to recreate the original registry. ERUNT is handy for that purpose for XP/Vista/NT systems. Win98 users could simply save one of the reg backup files - rbxxx.cab - in C:\WINDOWS\SYSBCKUP. ERUNT can restore the registry from Windows; Win 98 users would have to do so via SCANREG /RESTORE from DOS. By default (IIRC), ERUNT stashes backups it makes on the system drive...not a good place to have them if the system drive goes belly up. Doing the above would recreate the registry as it was at some point in time before the new install of Windows; it would have the needed info for the programs installed on a separate drive and all should be well with them IF they did not stash files on the system partition as well as the program partition. Additionally, restoring the registry would be silly if a bad registry was the reason for the new install of Windows. Note that I don't advocate doing this, just offer it as a possible "saver" for those who felt the need to install their programs on other than the system drive. Me, I prefer to just make images. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Me, I prefer to just make images. It won't work, at least not always. Entries in the registry are only one of the types of incompatibility you will run into if you do as you suggest.
