XP repair

If I am having a problem with windows XP, can I repair windows by inserting my windows CD and hitting "R"?
When would I do this?
Does this change my other settings or 3rd party software?
(Like if I deleted something important, or if windows doesn't recognize hardware)
Will an XP upgrade CD work too?

Can you be a little more specific about the problems?, maybe a repair is not necessary but if it is, it is possible to carry out an over the top repair very easily withut loosing any of your settings or files.
