Partition benefits . . .

"The benefit of partitioning your HD is that you can
keep a pristine copy of
the OS on the 2nd partition, along with a copy of your
favourite Disc
maintenance program. Whenever you suspect that the
disc needs repair, just
restart on the second partition and run the Disc
repair program. About twice
as fast as finding the CD, restarting off the CD and
running the program off
the CD."

An even faster solution, in my experience, is to
install Applejack:

http://applejack.sourceforge.net/

then, when things get a bit "grumpy" you just hold
down Command-S while you do a restart - this drops you
into the command-line interface and tells you what to
do.
