Better yet, add a second drive and use it as a backup location. I would first make a clean install of XP, activate it, update it will all critical updates, and then make an image of the c drive using Ghost or the like. With the image safely tucked away on your backup drive, start adding your hardware and software until you are back up and running. If along the way anything messes up, you can always reinstall the image and start again. Once everything is in order and you are happy with what you have, copy all your data (which I assume you have copies of) into the proper locations, and then immediately make a second image of the c drive.
