How do I Clean/Optimize my Win Xp Pro SP2?

I have had problems with windows xp pro so i reinstalled and added all (ALL) looks like way to many Win Updates.

But I know that now I have way to many files that i need on my pc.

And I just want to figure out the easiest way to get it back to running smoothly.

I think I can go to Bootdisk~And I would need to d/load winxp Pro Sp2 boot disk correct?

But in order for me to back up~~~There is another problem.

PC does not regonize the e drive to put stuff on

and I have diskettes.. but it takes way to many

So is it possible to find out whats needed to run and then make the decision on the other stuff?

example: to put on diskettes or to delete.

I hope this makes sense i am so frustrated and I do not have the funds to take it to someone being the holidays and all

Easy instructions will eliminate alot of questions later. :)

Thanks A Million guys
