First of all it isn't your CPU you're formating it's your hard drive. They are two totally different things.

I'd back it up onto CDs, you can get a load of blank CD-Rs cheap now. And 5gb isn't that much to back up onto multiple CDs.

Just so you know, before you format your drive make sure that the version of windows (probabally XP you're getting) will work on your computers specificaions and that you can install an old version of windows onto your computer that most likely came with it. That way you only have to buy the XP upgrade disk for your computer, rather than the full thing.

You can burn music files onto a DVD as data, but not without a DVD ReWritable drive. And there's no such thing as a DVD-CD.

Not really, it'll take you an hour, tops to do it. If you get fast writing disks it shouldn't be long at all...
