Windows Partitions

Hello,

If I partition my DELL laptop HDD to two partitions, say "C" and "D", where "C" is for OS and Programs, and "D" is for my data;  In future, when needed, can I just re-format my "C" and restore the "OS", will this affect my data in "D"?

thank you for advise.

    You CAN'T do this using Dell's recovery partition, but you CAN do this if you use a Windows installation DVD - you can select the partition to install Windows to and leave other partitions untouched during the installation.
