Disappearing Files

A couple weeks ago, I had some corrupted system files that did not let me
bootup. Sugested to use the original Windows XP CD to use the Repair Console,
but that did not help at all; so I copied while in the console several
important files to a partition in a second hard disk. I reformated and
reinstalled Windows XP from scratch, I checked the files I copied, they were
there. Them I inserted and installed SP2, when finished, the files were gone,
I though that SP2 erased the files but SP2 started acting up and I removed
SP2, the files came up and they were where I put them. When I reload Windows
XP for the second time, files were there but of course I had to load SP2
again and the files are gone. How can I retrieve those files without having
to uninstall SP2 again? Any sugestions or reason why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

What files are you talking about?

What exactly is your Windows XP CD?

How did you know you had some corrupted system files?

Personal files, some are html, .pst and others. What exactly is my Windows XP
CD??? It's the Install CD where the Windows XP program is located in order to
load into the computer. It does not matter how I knew systems files were
corrupted. The important is why they disappear with SP2 and appear without
SP2. Those files I am trying to recover are not system files.

If you can not give straight forward answers to simple questions I am
sorry to have to say I can not help you.
