What I do is use ntbackup (start, run, type ntbackup) and backup to a
file, then burn the file to a cd-rom

Nice. I told it to back up everything across 90gb of hard drive space it
told me it would take 40 gb and 5 hours.
I dunno. I don't have anything critical on this PC so I just reinstall
windows if it goes t*ts up.
I know, everyone's different.

Backup programs are USUALLY designed to backup critical data - not complete
operating systems and application software. You can re-install those easily.

Although it's true that you can easily reinstall the operating
system and operating system, it isn't necessarily a trivial task
to get everything set up and reconfigured the way you want it. I
have a lot of time investing in customizing and configuring my
system and my apps the way I like them, and I wouldn't want to
have to redo that. For that reason, I choose to backup by making
a complete copy of my hard drive on a second removable hard drive
(actually I use two such backup drives, and alternate between
them).
