First do you have the CDs that your computer came with, when you bought it?? Especially the Operating system CD and the drivers CDs?

What make is your computer and how old is it (roughly)? If it's a brand such as Dell or HP which is fairly recent (last 2 years or so), then chances are a button press during the PC "boot up" is all you need to completely reset the PC and put it back the way it was when you first bought it. If it's a little older, or if the manufacturer doesn't have the "System Recovery" function enabled, then you'll need the operating system CDs that would have come with your PC. Basically, put the CD, you should get a prompt to restart your PC and it should take you through the process step by step from there. In terms of backing everything up, you can just burn the files you need onto a Data CD, although a DVD would be better (far more space). Either use a burning program such as Nero, Roxio, Record Now etc. to add the files you want to each CD/DVD, or move all of the files you want to save into folders, with each folder being just under 700MB (or ~4400MB for DVD) and then burning each folder to a CD/DVD. Before you do this though, do you know what it is that is wrong with your PC? Reformatting isn't exactly the nicest task and requires an immense amount of patience to have to back everything up, reload Windows and then load everything back onto the PC. Only reformat unless you absolutely have to!

Damn it's been a long time since I reformatted a Windows box. You can do it several ways, the easiest is probably with the Disk Tools -> Reformat thingy.

This is really easy...you need a burning program like Nero, Pinnacle, or Roxio. Then you just need to run Disk Tools -> Format Hard Drive. It will restore all your settings to default.
