Here are some messages while I tried to install-repair XP by ENTER. I was having XP SP2 running very fine but its crashed due to Audio driver problems, later many applications start falling apart and I was not having any option except to run XP CD for repairing windows but all 4 of CDs are not taking me to 2 final installation due to inherent corruption windows suffered.
Due to misunderstanding typed text of DOS as re-written here:

At this moment I want to ask will my data in My Documents folder will remain saved , unhurt if I will utilize the same partition to install repaired XP (2nd Option on XP CD by ENTER).
If I need to create a partition , how should I break it quantity wise, what will be name of broken partition? Presently I am using C drive, will repaired fixed XP run via Drive letter 'D'?
