Whenever I've had the opportunity (new computer, fresh HD, fixit job for a friend, etc...) I always used to thrash the hell out of the 
installation media.  What I mean is that when there's no risk (because there's no data to lose), I've often taken the opportunity to start 
the install several dozen times.  Mostly I don't even bother following through on the actual "install" (until the last time) but choose to 
go back and repartition again.  I found this a great way to learn about mount points and all sorts of esoteric options.  If you have trouble 
with figuring this stuff out, write some notes for yourself (and don't lose them).  Someday when you're trying to recover from a HD 
failure/corruption you may find those notes you wrote for yourself quite helpful.
