Fed up with Windows

[Mc Brain]

Are you fed up of having to backup all your documents and stuff every time you have to format your HD because of the f*** Windows.

I've an idea, and would love to read your opinions. What do you think about creating 2 partitions (at least) in the HD. One for just the system (and "not important" files). And the other one for all your files -"Documents And Settings" included in this partition-.

I know that this would mean to play with the registry so that the path to those folders points to the D: drive (instead of C:) but I guess it's quite easy -I've done this more than once-

So, if your Windows got corrupted... or it's not working as you'd like.... Format the partition, re-install the system, and re-path the Documents And Settings paths. DONE! You're system is back to life.

Obviously you should re-installed all the soft, but I guess you have the CD or disks to do so (and didn't have to backup all your files, because you didn't erased them).

So, here's the poll. First, post all the pros and cons you can imagine of this "solution". And second how would be the size of the primary partition?
