Use xp disk as you would to do a normal install at the instalation screen pick repair windows leave file system as it is this will re install windows but leave your files as they are on the computer
all that will not be available are any updates that you installed due to your windows being back to its original install DONOT pick the change file system or your drive will be auto formatted that is a clean install that destoys all on the hard drive you will still need your serial number to reinstall
OR
in nero back it up click on the drive back up click on the system drive click start drive back up best with cd/dvd rewritables then click start drive back up this will make you a series of cd/dvds you can use these to restore your system as the first disk is bootable at start up this restores the computer to its orignal install plus any other programs ect on the drive rewritable disks are the best for this as they can be updated easily if any thing changes on the system you do not need your serial number as this will only restore to the machine it was saved from you also do not need to reformat the drive the disks reinstall to the same partition on the hard drive

To format your computer you must have a boot disk which you can create by going to http://www.bootdisk.com
if you have a boot disk
Place the boot disk in to the floppy drive.
Once the boot disk has been read then select
boot without cd support
once loaded type in format c:
and then Y = Yes.

To format/reinstall you will need a copy of WinXP in CD. Go into your BIOS and set your computer to boot from CD. Insert the WinXP CD and restart. Press a key when prompted and the WinXP setup program will start. Follow the on-screen instructions.
