Yes.  You can.  Just make sure you put it back exactly where it was afterward (I'm assuming you are planning to reformat).

Just as an aside, you might try this.  It costs, but IMO its one of the best spyware programs on the market, constantly updating like an antivirus program to keep you up to date on the latest and greatest spyware proggies out there.

Go to start, run, type in  "services.msc" and scroll down to messenger and disable it. Then download mozilla firefox and kiss ur adaware and popups goodbye

For $5 you can buy the CD from HTC. I'd assume they ship the current version.

I also use dialup and while not related to the popups and stuff, I got a utility called GetRight, there are others out there, that help downloading large files. They allow you to pause or restart the download if you need the computer or get disconnected in mid-download.
