Which Ti-book do you now have?

My personal approach is to partition my (40 Gb) hard drive.

I have one partition each for:

- OS X
- Classic
- Virtual PC
- my WORK, and sofware (installers)
- music & photos

I keep my work separate from the OS partitions.

I run an incremental backup every day, except of the music, as I back 
that up on to a separate Firewire 20 Gb drive.

When you decide to partition the drive, of course the OS must be re-installed.
That is what I always do.
Once (quite a while ago), since I have had this Ti-500, I have 
reformatted the OS X partition, and installed OS X again.
In such a case, none of the pother partitions are changed or 
affected.  I prefer it that way.
