Yes, it's perfectly safe. It will only effect Microsoft files and apps. It won't effect your photos, bookmarks, favorites, outlook...etc. For a more thorough description, check out this sticky.

Well I Ran The Repair From The Windows XP Service Pack 2 Disk But It Didn't Work .I'm On Somebody Elses Computer .About 34% Left Before I Get A Pop Up That Reads : The Software You Are Installing For This Hardware "Sound Max Integrated Digital Audio" Has Not Passed Windows Logo Testing To Verify It's Compatibility With Windows XP .It Gave Me A Yes Or No Choice Because Windows Strongly Recomeded That I Didn't Install This .So I Was Going To Click No To Move On But The Mouse Freezes And I'm Stuck There .If I Reboot It Just Loads Up And Continues And Will Lead You Back To This Same Error If You Follow The Steps Again .I'm Bringing It In Tuesday In The Hopes I Can Get Pass That Or At Least Go Back !

That's not a huge deal. It's likely related to a windows security patch. Once the repair is done you can make sure all the updates are downloaded. If you click yes, it should proceed with the repair.

A Buddy Of Mine Wiped It Clean And Gave Me A Fresh Windows XP Install With Files Being Backed Up .Here's The Problem Well I Never Really Did Find Out What Caused The First One But The Second One With That Disk I Can Clearly Say This . If What I Tried Doesn't Work Then There's No Way Back But Start From Scratch And Pay Between 50 And 100 Dollars !!
