Once you get everything installed and running the way you want use Norton Ghost or PowerQuest Drive Image to make restore discs. When I first installed W2K to a dual boot system and got things really messed up (unable to even boot) I was thankful to have Norton Ghost. Pop in a floppy with the program on it and load up your restore discs and 45 minutes later everything was if nothing had ever happened. About $70 for either program. Well worth it in my opinion.
Or you can use the backup supplied on the XP install CD by going to the \valueadd\msft\ntbackup directory on the CD, then 'right clicking' on the file ntbackup.msi and select 'install' option. Use the help after the program is installed to check the backup/restore options.
