Reformat My iMac without having to resintall Adobe Suite and Office Suite?

[Mike Sacks]

So my iMac's been running a bit slow and it now says the hard disc needs to be repaired. My questions are.
1) If I follow through with repairing it will i lose my Adobe Suite and Office Suite
2) If I were to completely reformat it, is there anyway to keep them on. Can I partition the hard drive, move the files to the partition and then reformat the other part?
