Hi,

if you create seperate swap, root and home partitions, if you have to re-install ; all your data will be safe if you follow this guide:

You do know that Zorin 7 is no longer supported don't you?, you should install Zorin 8 which is supported until July 2014 and in about March time, Zorin 9 should be ready which will be an LTS (Long Term Support) version.
