I got a nasty virus and now I'm having to reinstall Windows. Thank god I'm using like a million partitions, and I'm smart enough to install all my games and important files off of C:\ so I didn't have to do much backing up.
My only concern is that I won't be able to register Windows again.
Edit: great, now I accidentally overwrote my entire movie storage drive with Windows because it reported the drive letters wrong in the setup. And the previous Windows was still intact. That'll ruin your day.

if you download/install a virus to d: it can't migrate to c: or any other partitions?
I don't think it did any damage to any of my files, viruses usually don't spread like that for me.
This doesnt work with ALL viruses
And potatis I agree, ubunutu is an awesome way to waste your time away toying with an operating system with next to no support that will take months to learn to use properly. I'm sorry, but I have much better things to do with my time than grow a neckbeard. If that means having to reinstall my OS every two or three years, so be it.
Windows is messed up, but you have to use it thanks to most games being built with DirectX (why haven't EU done anything about it yet?).
