I dunno... Since most Windoze users never set up a non-admin account, all 
it would take is some fool mis-typing a command to fdisk while trying to 
set up a newly installed disk. Nothing like a freah FAT table on top of 
your superblock...

I'm not quite that paranoid. Besides, I can just as easily mess up while 
working on the Linux side. But if the Windoze partition was for use by 
anyone other than me, I'd seriously thing about putting it on a spare 
machine.
