Are the Files Stored in Another Partition Safe When the Windows Partition Collapses?
I recently realized that I had stored my files with the Windows OS in the same partition. I want to know if files stored in another partition are safe when the Windows partition collapses. If they are, how can I create multiple partitions?

If you are asking the question - are the files stored in another partition safe when the Windows partition collapses? The answer is various as follows:
No - There are mainly three situations where your files on another partition are unsafe when the Windows partition collapses. If the hard disk crashes, all the partitions will be gone. If the Windows partition cracks while using the file on another partition, that file might also be damaged. If you enable encryption on the disk, a Windows crash will likely damage your private key, which could cause you can't read your data.
Yes - If the hard disk is in good condition, the files on another partition would be safe.
