Hi,
Use an imaging program like Acronis True image and do a full system backup,
plus make a recovery CD so you can restore from a bootable cd in case you
cannot access the O/S.
Backup up ideally should be done to an external Hard Disk otherwise create a
seperate partition on your boot disk and store it there.

Regards,
Graham.

Here is a list of free imaging programs: ( '7 Freeware Acronis True
Image & Norton Ghost Alternatives'
(http://www.winvistaclub.com/d75.html) ).
