1. It sounds like you need a drive imaging tool. Try this one: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/dir/54298/Download-Macrium-Reflect-Free-Edition.htm
2. If you have a modern operating system like Windows XP or Vista, then you already have a good backup program at your disposal, Windows Backup. It is a very flexible backup solution that can do anything from backing up individual files and folders, to create an Automated System Recovery backup that can restore your PC after a crash. You can find this awesome utility on the Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup. It has a very nice built-in Help tool and a plethora of Wizards to get you started. You can even set up a schedule to automate the process.
