Move all your important, must have stuff onto an external hard drive. All the rest of the programs just let go. All that software people pay for backs up everything, but it's not always that easy, especially when you have a lot of strange programs installed. I've gone through several bad hard drive failures where I just simply lost my stuff, and after about a month of rebuilding, I'm usually happier as I have a nice fresh install of windows and less junk.
I just copy my Documents folder and any zip files or program installers I may need, let the rest burn.
