I'm told this is "Eye of God" as photographed by the Hubble.

I decided to partition, actually. Leon has the system software, Tony has most of my documents, and Mathilda has all the big files: movies, music, video games, etc. Turned out to be more trouble than it was worth, but still, if I ever do have to reinstall, I'll be saving alot of valuable documents.

Plus, it helps keep me organized with so many files.

Listen bud, I don't tell you how to live your life!

The problem with them is that they exist in my user folder, which is in the system drive. If I ever need to reinstall OSX, those files will be erased along with them. This way, they are seperate from the system folder.

I was just confused. There's no need to be grouchy.

Not if you do what most people do - use the Archive and Install option. I can only think of one situation in which that wouldn't work, but Diskwarrior would be a cheaper option.

If you want to reinstall OS X or a newer version you choose the "Archive and Install" option when you boot from the install disk. It will create a fresh version of OS X and move all your user files to the new system. No reformat needed.

http://www.macworld.com/2002/10/features/install/

If you have disk trouble that Disk utility cannot fix, there is no point reformatting the disk when Diskwarrior will fix pretty much anything that is not serious hardware failure.

A flatmate of mine had that and blasted it endlessly. I got fed up of it.

Have you tried Shapeshifter yet (another great unsanity product)? It's how I got my OS to look like NeXTStep - although there are nicer themes available.
