No. My XP system is incredibly stable. Doesn't ever crash, I only format when I feel like it.

That was what I kept saying to myself, until something messed with my hard drive's MBR. I almost lost my entire partition until I used a program called Active@ Undelete to grab stuff off the messed up partition (yes, the recovery console didn't help out in this case).

Moral of the story: don't assume you're invulnerable to problems, and keep backups. You're not cool by running XP without a firewall, antivirus, utilities, etc. or formatting every two weeks (no I am not directing this towards you, just in general).
