One could argue that no SCSI termination is a pretty good argument for an OS to at
the very least get rather unhappy at you, at least if you were using SCSI disks. It
probably shouldn't crash, though, unless the boot drive is SCSI.

That said, point taken. When updating video drivers give you nightmares and make you
take disk images of your entire system, something is wrong.

Now I have a disk image of Win2k for gaming - if it dies or starts behaving funny, I
reimage it from a file on one of my reiserfs disks, and all is well. There's no data
the Windows partition that I care about, so Windows dying is much less of an issue.
