But the tradegy on my part was, I lost all my data inspite of warnings from your end. I admit and accept it was my overconfidence, haste & negligence. Some of the data I have with me in my Office PC so I can still manage but I lost some valuable Technical data. It was my mistake to use Recovery DVD which formatted the HDD instead of Repairing it. Its my suggestion to others too, not to repeat what I had committed.
I sincerely Thank Wilson William & Team and this website for offering me this great help to overcome my hindrances. I request you people to wish good luck to me for which I have taken so much trouble for a fruitful purpose.
My final query to you would be of a dll file named msnetobj.dll which did not copy from my XP CD to the PC. There was an option to skip it and I did the same. But at the same time there was a warning if I continued my XP installation wouldn't function properly. But after installing and re-booting several times I didn't face any problems except that I am getting only ONE icon of Recycle Bin on my XP Desktop compared to Vista Desktop which is normal. If this can be ignored, I would continue as it is or do I have to once again try installing XP.
Do reply as per convenience.
Best Regards & Thanks Once Again,

At last you made it. Congrats!!!. Yes, it is a bad luck that some of your data were lost. Never mind, try to do collect your lost data as soon as possible otherwise it may be easy to forget when time passes.
It should be a lesson those to who are all not sure about the tweaks, tricks with the pc. I have made 3 copies of recovery each containing 3 dvds because we can't predict things since all are electronics.
Regarding your missing file, try to search for this in the net or in microsoft site for this. If you can borrow a copy from your friend, try to extract this file from the CD (there are options available to extract single file unfortunately i dont remember now) or install a fresh copy of XP again. Now you are experienced in dual boot. If you are using a licensed version of XP, you will get a fresh copy by contacting the vendor.
We also thankful for your posts since many of the users can learn from other's mistakes.
We would be happy if you are continuing your support to our forums.
WE ALTOGETHER WHO MADE THESE FORUMS MEANINGFUL.
