Actually, it's written out in detail in several articles on the net

First off, if you haven't done so already you should back up any files you can't
afford to lose. While a
repair installation of XP should preserve your data and installed programs,
there's no guarantee. That said, take a look at these two articles for more
info.

Unfortunately there is no was to get the files since I cannot boot the
computer a system file is corrupt. So I will just have to hope for the best
with the reinstall.

Greatly appreciated.

Under those circumstances, the easiest way to recover files is to take the hard
drive out of the problem computer and configure it as a slave drive in a working
system. You may have to take ownership of the files in order to gain access.
