Reinstalling Windows XP

My desktop pc has had it.

It crashed the other day and when I try to boot it up, I get a simple message on a black screen stating a file is corrupt or damaged and needs to be reinstalled.

I looked around and I've worked out that I need to insert my original windows installation CD and hopefully that will solve it.

But my question is, once i've reinstalled my windows xp cd, will all my previously saved software, music, games, videos etc be lost?

Thanks for any helpful input on this.
