I've managed to catch a very nasty virus on my lap top.

So I've managed to catch the "moneyPak/FBI" virus on my lap top. Everything I've read says to boot in safe mode but running XP all I get is the MS BSOD. I've got the original XP disc and I guess I have to set my BIOS to boot from cd.
My hesitation is I've never done something like this and am very concerned about losing some/all of the my data. Is there anything I should do in advance to keep from losing anything?
Moral and Technical advice Invited and Welcomed.
