Are u talking abt backing up all content of a hdd partition include operating system? If so, use norton ghost.
u can back up a partition which contains windows files by using it. make a ghost file and write it to a cd or dvd. keep it.
u can use this cd when ur os currupt.
it will take only less than ten minutes

with windows XP if u have a cd writer drive u can just burn them using the "burn these files to a CD" thing that appears wen u select a group of files
partitioning the hard drive will require u to wipe the whole lot, reformat the disk (s) and dry run windows back onto the system, it is a more fool proof system cos it means no1 can run off wit ur important data without using ur pc, also its harder to destroy the hard drive without meaning to do so, just one scratch can irreprably damage a cd
u will need a boot disk (a 3 1/2 inch floppy usually) which u put in the floppy drive which enters DOS automatically wen the pc reads from it, then wen inside u will have a series of commands that u need to enter
i am unfortunatly unable to help beyond that point cos all i can remember is the formatt command which is
C:/Format C
C:/dir will give the names of every folder on the HDD

it depends on the files ... if it's just your data or files, then burn them on a cd , if they are system files and programs data .. then you need to go to
