Actually, I have another question. Currently I split my laptop hard drive into something like 200GB C drive (Windows, programs, etc) and 400-500GB D drive for downloads and documents. There's more room for something else, if necessary.
For one, it makes it easy to backup to an external drive once a week or so. Also, if Windows becomes a mess my files on a separate partition are easy to locate/copy in a non-GUI environment. Obviously if there's a total hard drive failure I will have to rely on my off drive backups.
What I want is to be able to restore my Windows and programs as quickly as possible on the road. Now that I am using this tutorial to prepare my custom recovery partition, install Windows, add user account(s), and define that the user profiles are on drive D, I think there's an issue with my strategy.
Won't restoring from this custom partition, which is essentially equal to a clean install, overwrite my data on drive D? How could I avoid that?
Thanks
