Normally I would use something like Ghost and do a disk image copy every week or every month (depending on how important your PC is to you). Sadly Windows XP rather puts the mockers on that idea unless the original drive is OK and just needs a reformat and you can image copy the back up straight back onto it. If you need a new original drive or try to use an imaged copy directly from the backup drive then XP won't work me thinks (because of all this activation rubbish). Perhaps there is some tweak on the net that gets round this.
