A normal XP repair install does NOT destroy your data or programs, but if there were any hiccups durring the process, ie, bad hardware causing the system to crash before its done, then you will have a hard job getting the thing going again, so its always best to save anything important before you start, with Windows, you can never tell what may hit you next.

Please read this first if you have never done it before.

Also, unless you already have the COA sticker showing the licence, use MagicalJellybean to retrieve the key first for XP and Office or you will have a hard time looking for them later.
