As a safety precaution, you should backup your files to an external media, such as an external hard drive or CD/DVD media. Fred Langa, of informationweek.com, published a great step-by-step guide on how to reinstall Windows XP without lossing any of your data.

Fred Langa shows you how to completely rebuild, repair, or refresh an existing XP installation without losing data, and without having to reinstall user software, reformat, or otherwise destructively alter the setup. "

If you have a big enough Hard Drive, partition it using software like Patition Magic, now you have 2 drives, C and D, copy all your files to drive D, transfer your settings using the transfer settings wizard or simply do a back-up to drive D, format drive C, reinstall your OS, run the restore settings wizard or restore the back-up image to drive C.
