I run two OS drives in removable caddies....primary and secondary masters, with a data drive separate [Promise expansion card].
OS drive crash and I'm up and running in the time it takes to boot XP...[about a week]...
All I need do is pull out the 'dud' caddy..
Experience is the best teacher.
You'll find you will never lose your system like that ever again....

If loosing data from a hard drive has you bummed, then the best thing to do is talk about it with someone.
There are many organizations that help with coping with a loss.
the data collected on a hard drive is in effect a part of your lifes experience. loosing that is similiar to loosing a part of yourself.
Can it be replaced? some can but the data most important more than likely can not.

Sounds like overkill, but once you've lost everything the term 'never again' springs to mind. I lost mine about 18months ago - the usual stuff like all my walls, skins etc, plus a huge movie collection, gigs of astro photos, about 250 UT maps etc...
The only thing you can rely on with a hard drive is failure, it's not 'if' but 'when'. Hope you get everything back soon.
