Due to Window's uncivilised behaviour of putting parts of application installs in the %SystemRoot% directory, and the registry in particular, installing apps on other drives doesn't protect you from having to reinstall them if Windows gets corrupted. You would probably be better off to regularly mirror the system drive to an external USB or eSATA drive. Clonezilla is one such tool.
