Um, if you're going to be doing a full backup of your hard drive _anyway_ (and prior to running any de-fragmenter, however highly recommended, it is a good idea), you might strongly consider partitioning the 80 megger into two or seven pieces. Then leave one partition empty or full of don't-really-require files. The reason? If you have a glitch on one of the other partitions, you can use Dave Haynie's DiskSalv to recover from the harmed partition into the spare partition (they have to be the same size).
