Or you can just boot off the Windows CD, select "repair install," and not lose anything. If you don't have an extra hard drive, it would be a good idea to partition your current hard drive and keep everything important off the Windows partition. This way, if you ever have to format your Windows partition, your other partitions won't be touched. However, you would still have to reinstall all of your programs again. It is still a good idea to have backup disks because if your hard drive dies, than your SOL. I have had two die on me.
