Sure it's safe and normal. BUT (you love caps), I'm making the case for not doing this. Also if people read my post and the whole thread in full they'd appreciate the prerequisite for the suggestion of storing personal data elsewhere.

Thats fine. This is getting a tad silly now
All I do is correct someone when they say it MUST be 'XXXX'.
If anyone wants to suggest something and put a reason why thats absolutely fine. Just so long as they keep to the facts.

I only wanted all the people who read this post to NOT think they MUST use another drive other than C

Thats it

All a bit tin foil hat if you ask me.

Install a decent AV like Avira or Avast and don't worry yourself.

As alienrik has pointed out, not everyone is computer savvy and knows about partitions, viruses, firewalls etc.
So any advice that can help reduce the chance of a virus attack should be posted.

Incidentally I'm not worried at all about viruses - i run an anti-virus program and a firewall. I also have 3 separate HDDs (2 int, 1ext) and can reinstall windows (if necessary) without any help. My post was aimed at those less computer savvy as i have pointed out.

Why not buy a large USB stick and copy your photos to that or back up to dvd writeable.

The rescue partition is usually hidden on lappys and accessible from a recovery CD
