I recently had to reformat and reload, but fortunatly I had taken steps when I first set up my machine. It has a 40G hard drive, which I partitioned into 25G, 10G and 5G drives. All of my data resides on the smaller partitions, and all of operating system and programs reside on the large partition. Net result was absolutly no loss of of data, a clean load after I formatted C, and a system that works great.
However, after reloading everything I went out and got a second drive and partitioned it the same way. I now regularly back up all of my primary drives to the second. Drives are cheap, its the data on them that can be valuable.

I can't even remember how to do partitions anymore. But that makes for easy formatting.
