I have the real thing and it was given to me by MS at one of their meetings.

I never had this problems in all the years of reformatting and reinstall any
OS. Always keep my data on other partitions as it is easy to blow away the
OS and other programs during testing and not worry about it and do backup on
it.

I have never had to backup my music that have been transfer off LP to MP3.
Never seen this before.

MS just gave me a CD for RC1 SP2 when I already DL it last week.
