Let's see, if your drive went south why would you want to do this?

If your software broke you can startup from a CD and reinstall.

If your desktop db is corrupted you can do the same using Diskwarrior.

So, keep backup copies of your system install disks and Diskwarrior in 
your computer bag.

want to do repair work in Iraq pay those companies...not the US 
taxpayer! In fact, let's turn all of the repairs over to other 
countries and their taxpayers and save a few hundred billion dollars.
