As PCT said, you can re-image a whole o/s and programs back in 10mins, with data save on another partition you can recover very fast... SolMiester (139)

Then back up daily to a USB drive. Having all your data on one HD is dangerous in the extreme unless you back up externally.

I have always kept data and programs physically separate, and it has paid off several times.
