This'll probably get moved but I don't know where else to put it. I had problems with my computer and itworking again using a Red xp sp3 disc (i was using vista) and all my vista stuff, inlcuding all my files came back up. The problem is that a new problem arose and used the disc again and have accidently put myself in the process of installing the xp. Is there a way to stop this and if not then will i lose my files?

Red xp sp3

Where did you get that?

Can you explain how it is valid Microsoft software?

That would be the first step here.
