If I partition My O/S drive into 2 partitions, and i have a system crash
will i loose both partitions? Or just the O/S part?








ABS Awesome 3300
2800 AMD Barton
1280mgs Ram
Geforce FX 5200 128MB DDR Model FX5

If it is a software crash you will just lose you OS partition, but if it is
a Hardware crash such as disk failure, you will lose both.
 
If there is a software crash you won't lose either partition. You may have
to reinstall the OS to the OS partition but the data won't be lost unless
the crash was a result of a hardware failure or you decide to reformat the
partition during the reinstall of the OS. Exception, if the drive is
encrypted you may not be able to recover the data.

Kind Regards,
