I lost a memory stick in work last year with some adult content on there. I broke into a cold sweat every time someone said I've just found a USB. Anyway it was never found and I thought that was that but found an old folder in the draw before Christmas and when I lifted it up the USB fell out. Sweat over

There's plenty of decent encryption software out there (available as freeware) so you need never worry if you lose a USB stick that's loaded with sensitive material. TrueCrypt for example is great because the files become invisible once encrypted.

Too late for you now but a USB Hard Drive Cradle is worth keeping around the house.

If you hard drive fails, remove it from the case, put it into the cradle, plug the cradle into another computer and you should be able to access your files.  Copy them onto another back up drive and then reinstall Windows.

It really is that easy.

That's a good solution. Being a techie I built my own FreeNAS server which is on 24/7 in my spare room. It's basically a central store of all my pictures, mp3, documents, movies etc which can be accessed (password protected of course) by any laptop, phone or tablet in the house. I could also connect it to the Internet but for security reasons I choose not to.  The disk drives have redundancy so if there's a hardware failure the data isn't lost.
