When wanting to avoid dangerous hard disk operations, i would recommend
andLinux.
It runs a kernel within windows, and on top of the filesystem. You only need
access to ext3 partition somewhere for compiling (since andLinux does not
know "ln -sf" on NTFS or the like), running lilypond works perfectly here,
and about three times faster than the official windows build, by the way...
Yours, Arno
