You might want to reformat the partition with all the programs if you're going to reinstall the OS, since you'll have to reinstall all the software anyway. I would want to start with a completely clean slate. I am unaware of any advantage to having programs on a different partition. All the registry stuff will be in the OS partition, and without that, nothing will run. In the olden days when I was hurting for Hard drive space I sometimes installed big programs on zip disks. I would just reformat the whole disk and start again.
