Use the System Restore Wizard for this...
Here's how to use it:
You must be a member of the computer administrator group on your computer to access the System Restore Wizard or change System Restore settings.

There are three methods that you can use to access System Restore functionality.

You can access the System Restore Wizard through the Start menu. To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.
You can access System Restore through Control Panel. To open the System Restore Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance. Under See Also, click System Restore.
You can access System Restore through Help and Support Center. To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Using System Restore to undo changes, and then click Run the System Restore Wizard.

The way I have done it I have ticked the option to choose the drive on install (won't work if you only have one drive)
and then let it go through ignore the option to repair through the repair console go to the next screen then you can choose the place you want to install the you get an option to press "r" for repair if you choose the drive you already have xp installed on.
This works very well I have done this on many installations onxp.

The responce by -+={©Yahoo©}=+- has always worked well for me too (it will keep all your current settings and re-install over the top) I can't remember the initial Restore function ever working for me.
