It may turn out that way, but it does not matter. This system for
historical reasons boots Warp4 from driver F:. Both D: and E: have
miminal BOOTOS2 setups set up to autocheck only D: and E:, respectively.
E: happens to be smallers, so if I have one of my rare kerenel exceptions,
I will boot the E: and then chkdsk the other partitions from the command
line.

On the laptop, I have E: set up with THINLAPS. That way I can do restores
over the network if needed.

Yes, although my experience is that since I have it and it is so
accessible I rarely need to use it.
