The reinstall is just a question, for future reference. Everything is
working so far. And I make monthly full bootable backups of my C drive,
just in case of a HD failure. And I also make a full backup, not
bootable, more often just to be safe. And a weekly data backup onto a
CD. I've been burned before, and my backups are all that saved me.
