Reinstalling will cause the loss of *everything* on the drive.

A repair insrtallation shuld not cause the loss of anything. However there
are no guarantees that it always works perfectly. However unlikely, it's
always possible that something might go wrong. For that reason it's prudent
to be sure you have a backup of anything you can't afford to lose before
beginning.
