>10. What I am missing?

Beside the CD burner already metioned: organisation.

Make separate partitions for your OS, your programs and your data.

Store all your data on the data partition, including e-mail, addressbooks,
favourite URL's etc etc. Rememer .ini files and startup files. All "floating and
changing" data.

Also create a directory on that partition with your basic drivers: unpacked and
ready to install. No need searching for CD's or floppy disks.

If you can't do it the partition way because you should have to repartition:
consider Partition Magic, 99,9% safe.
Or store all data under ONE directory, so if you have a burner, only drag that
complete directory as a backup to the CD Rom.

If -with all countermeasures named here- it still goes wrong, just.... just....
freak out. You deserve that.
