Can you reinstall WinXP from CD without losing your data that you had saved like you can with Win98? Thanks

Yes: If you need to reinstall WindowsXP and want to keep all your current installed applications and settings: Start WindowsXP Go to the location of your source files [this is the I386 folder on CD-ROM or a copy you may have made to the Hard Disk]. Run WINNT32 /unattend I've often need to do this to repair something that had gotten corrupted and didn't want to do a clean install.
