I have Windows XP Pro and it's not getting to the login
screen. I want to reinstall it, but I want to make sure I
don't lose stuff. That should be possible because I have
all my important stuff on a seperate partition (D drive),
although I can't access it from Redhat Linux. Would it be
safe to reinstall Windows, assuming it will do full
restore, without messing up my D drive?
