Default OS, programs, and files on different HDs ok?

is it possible to only have the OS on a HD with no programs installed on it, and another HD dedicated to run the programs only? after the computer boots, can the programs still run after the comp is booted up?

in the past, i've always put all files on storage in one HD and the OS and programs on another one. now i want to switch it up and have 3 partitions on one of the HD so i can have the OS, programs, and files on different partitions.

the reason i'm doing this is because sometimes i reinstall the OS and would have to install all the programs and drivers again. this takes time and i'd have to go look for all the CD keys too. i have to format again so would it be smart this time to have the OS and programs on separate partitions?
