You can do a repair install like this -
Start the computer from the XP Setup CD
Press ENTER to set up Windows XP, and then press R to repair the selected installation.
It will try to rebuild the registry and load XP over the top of your existing files, but will keep programs intact and most of your settings. Iirc, if your setup disk is not SP2 you would need reapply the SP afterwards.
