Excellent point, and I apologize for not considering that earlier.  I
really forget about those things because I usually delete them as soon
as I get a new system.  If I ever have to re-install windows, I have
access to media that isn't full of trial software and other junk, so I
just delete those "recovery" partitions and use the space for
something more ... useful ;-)

Cheers
