That's why you back up that, too, to your data drive, on a regular basis.

If you have a hard drive crash so severe that you can recover no files off 
your boot drive, I think the effort of recreating your firefox profile or 
configuring your game's video settings is probably pretty low on the list, 
tho, honestly.

Other way around, actually.
