Can't you just mirror the drive before doing an update and if things go bad just restore the drive from the mirror?

Mac people use Carbon Copy Cloner, I thought Ghost did this on the PC side of things.

In WinXP, you can set what's called a System Restore Point, which is a snapshot of your system, apps, registry etc. Then if anything screws up after installing new software, you can revert back to how it was before. It has saved my ass on several occassions.
