Windows 7 and windows xp issues

[massossong1]

i think i made a mistake, first of all, i was planning to test window 7 beta... i first deleted the windows xp svc pack 3 on the add/remove application.... which i should i have inserted the installation cd of windows xp svc pack 3... but i didnt have that cd ... so i ordered the windows xp svc pack 3 installation cd....

I lost some files, will i gain back by using the windows xp svc pack 3 installation cd to re install files and etc... ??
am i doing the right thing q

Many thanks,
MaryAnn
