With previous versions of Windows, yes, but I'm not so sure about that with Win XP. I needed to do a reinstall recently and Windows warned that reinstalling (no format) would result in the loss of data in My Documents, etc so I chose a Repair instead which did keep all my data. I plan to test the reinstall/lose data possibility soon but in the meantime it would pay to err on the cautious side. ;-)
