Uninstalling other EA Games uninstalls TS2?

Oh lordy, this is getting prettier and prettier. I am now getting seriously worried. There is a lot of stuff on my PC, including years worth of research for my thesis. I better run, and spend money that I can ill afford to spend on a peripheral hard-drive. In addition, my PC was 'born' in 1998 (or 99, I forget) which makes it very low end and very vulnerable.
Burnable CDs and DVDs are very cheap now. Sure, it'll take a long time to back everything up on disks, but if cost is an issue, it's the way to go. Consider "renting" a DVD-RW drive if you don't have one; just take it back to the store before the 15-day return period ends, which should be enough time to make your backups.

I wonder if that's what happened to my Holiday pack. When I reinstalled Seasons and BV earlier this week, I went in to make sure it had actually uninstalled right (BV had, Seasons hadn't) and I noticed that Holiday was missing from both Program Files and the registry. I thought maybe I hadn't installed it last time, so I dug out the disk to install with the others, and it told me it was already installed. That puzzled me and I meant to both look to see if the content was still there and ask about it in here, but then got distracted and forgot.

Hmm, on my computer most of the files were still there in Program Files and the registry. I wouldn't have even known the executables were missing until Windows said that my BV shortcut wasn't pointing to an actual file. When I went to relink it, I found that there was no executable in my TSBin folder (the launcher was still there, though). That's when I started checking all the other expansion pack folders in Program Files and found that all of the executables were gone.

That's normal, the holiday pack doesn't have its own folder or registry entry as it acts more like a patch than a stuff pack

That's an alternative, BastDawn. I am just paranoid that something might happen to the disk(s). Someone told me to get a separate hard-drive, but now I'm worried that SecuRom will infest that one too. It appears I'm getting a tad paranoid, but that stuff is irreplaceable.
Anyway, thank you, BastDawn, good suggestion. I'll do that right away, can't hurt to have a few extra back-ups.
