If you've got the data off the PC, and you don't specifically *need* any of the other stuff, then for gods sakes don't waste a year of your life - boot with the XP CD, delete the partition and reinstall XP on the fresh disk. I quote 4 hours to build a PC including Windows Updates and things like Acrobat Reader and CutePDF. Surely now you can see that wasting a year pruning is simply that.
