Your computer has a DVD burner? Just burn all your files to DVD. You can get ~16gb USB sticks pretty cheap now too.
I can send you a dload link for XP Home SP2 or SP3. Or XP Professional SP3 Volume License Edition (Corporate with no activation) + a Key.
When you re-install windows in the initial setup stages when you choose where to install windows instead of one C:\ partition delete it and make two partitions. I.e. 20gb for windows and the rest in the other partition. Then when you ever need to re-format c:\ again you can just leave all your gear on D:\
In general for backing up data I use Acronis Enterprise Server Echo, or you could just use Acronis True Image Home.
