I feel you have left out a lot of vital information here.

You 'carried out a disk cleanup'.. Does that mean you ran the Windows XP
Disk Cleanup utility?

You 'lost most of my files in office' means...? A disk Cleanup (the Windows
XP Utility) only deletes log/tmp files by default. It would not delete
Word/Excel/Powerpoint files. It *might* make office forget recently opened
files - but i don't recall that ever happening - and even then, the files
are not lost - just not as easily accessible.

Then you go on to say 'I don't have the XP disk.." --> which is more
confusing as why you would need that when you lost 'files in my office' and
Windows XP and Office are two different beasts.

Can you post back with more information on what you did to get in your
current situation and actually - what that current situation actually is?
