Use Norton Ghost, this program backup your c: drive into a DVD ;) (I not used it, but many people recommended it to me)

You already have one: it's called Windows :P
Seriously though, if you're just copying, drag-and-drop. If you want something more advanced, you could try Norton Ghost if you want to be able to restore the exact same state. I don't really know about many tohers though, sorry.

Wow.  I never thought I would get to post two links to cheesy MS user level articles in one day.  :P

Anyway, in addition to the "copy files you want" approach RaceProUK suggests, Windows also comes with adequate backup software.  It is very simple to use and suitable if you want a backup to quickly get back where you were after having your system wiped out by something like a hard drive failure.
