Always back up.

If you purchased the Windows XP upgrade, in theory, you won't lose any information. If you purchased a regular windows XP, then it won't do the upgrade and it will want to do a fresh install and you will need to reformat.

You shouldn't lose your information, but back it up just in case. Never trust it 100%.
