That makes sense.

I don't think it is that big of a risk, and if you're really worried 
you can make a backup image of your laptop.

http://redobackup.org/ is free and *really* simple to use. It's like 
Acronis, I guess. You can run it as a Live CD (or USB, I assume) to take 
an image and restore an image.

If you need help and can wait two weeks there's a Humbug meeting you 
can come to and we can get it done.
