A program that allows choice of where to install it, should also allow a choice of where to put data files.  I personally put 
as few program files/data files on C: as I can, because I know from past experience that these files will be at risk to loss and corruption.
Put them on another hard disk, then no matter what happens with the os, your program files are safer.  Then monitor that
new hard disk for signs of failure.  I keep a hard disk in reserve to transfer to when signs of failure appear.
 
But that's me, I'm weird that way.
