I do suggest that everyone have a RAID filesystem with backups if THEY HAVE DATA THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO LOOSE. All I am saying is do the research required to perform the task at hand. If you are going to dual boot, I don't care if it is Windows 98 and Windows XP or even Dos 6 and Fedora Core 2. Know what is at stake. KNOW YOUR ENEMY. Also just to clarify, I am the person you call when you haven't done your homework.
I don't know about where you live but they haven't had full service gas stations where I live since i was a boy of 10 (I am in my 30's now). Also if you are waiting until the dash lights turn on to do anything about your oil; I guess you would be the reason why those lights are referred to as idiot lights by mechanics. And you have also proved my point. Just so you know, those lights are there to tell you that you have waited to long to check the fluids (ie, oil or something similar) and now there is something wrong with the vehicle, they aren't for preventative means.
No what I said was you really shouldn't drive a car unless you know where the Oil goes, how to check it, know how much to add if needed and when to change it. Same goes for the coolant, gas and other vital fluids required to keep the machine running.
If they don't know how to fix their Master Boot Record (MBR) then they shouldn't be dual booting in the first place. Furthermore, if they have important data that can not be lost, what is it doing on the same partition (or even the same hard drive) as their operating system? I am not trying to shift blame here, but we are talking about Modern Technology, which is prone to disappointment. So it is the user who should take the appropriate steps to protect critical data. I know we are supposed to trust that the maker of the software has tested and taken steps to prevent data loss, etc. In the end it is ultimately the user who is responsible for what is their's (this applies to more than just a computer).

Could you be referreing to quantum dots produced by the company QDot now owned by Invitrogen???
I am failing to see the logic, it would seem to me that $50 spread over the course of 40+ hours is a pretty good return on investment.
Hey where did you go to school? That was one of my PE teacher's favorite twists to the most grand of all High School sports!!
I hear you there, how about Opera on Linux?
