System Recovery - missing operating system

OK Im a idiot I know,

I have windows XP home edition on a sony viao pcv-rs221
It came installed with windows xp and other software and I
recieved no disks with the computer.
The HD is partioned C and D
The only disk i have is the recovery disk I made.
OK heres where I messed up!
I wanted to reinstall a program that wasnt working from the recoverydisk.
I stopped the recovery prossess before it ended.
Now when the computer trys to boot, it stops on the first sceen and says (missing operating system.)
When i put the recovery disk in it brings up a box that says
(Insert the recovery CD Vol. 1 and press OK button.
Your computer will restart)
When i do this the CD door opens up and I get the same message.
I found out I can order a different recovery disk from Sony.
My hard drive is partioned with windows and bundled software on drive C
How can I get Windows running again and
Is there a way I can save the files on Drive D?

Any help is appreciated Thanks,Winger
