If you are not reformatting the drive. Windows will replace the current operating system. This will have certain affects on files that are in C:\documents and settings and C:\windows.
You'll have to reinstall all of your applications and device drivers also.
Best to backup your data.

the windows xp disc will give you the option of backing up your files .
back up all files you want to keep to an additional disc, after you have reestablished xp, u can use the back up disc to reload your files .
