For the same reason you just did. Personally, I see no reason to have 3
desktop and 2 laptop computers. Sounds like overkill to me. <shrug>

Kuthe is stuck in an alternate universe where no one has moved past XP.
The folks at that computer shop will charge him an arm and a leg to
find the "missing" drive (partition) and he'll gladly pay it. I'll bet
he's never heard of resetting the System Restore Point. Probably never
backs up anything at all.
