You don't need to move all the files, just the important ones; text documents, bookmarks, saved games, whatever. You don't need to preserve everything.

You then format and install windows on the drive you just backed up, and you have a nice clean install of windows without any corrupt files getting in the way. You then reinstall yor desired applications, and move your saved files back from the other hard-drive.
