My 4tb storage drive got overwritten with a (blank) ~100GB NTFS partition, at
the very beginning of the disk. Not sure what happened or why, but I am not
exactly thrilled, as you can imagine.

One of the rules of installing, is to disconnect all drives
that do not need to be touched by the install. For example, I
have three drives on this computer, and during an OS install,
two get disconnected as they have nothing to do with it.

That way, only one drive needs to be backed up just before
the install attempt.

I''ve lost a couple drives (target drives) while setting
up multi-boots. I would recommend being especially careful
with Debian itself.
