It's nice to use one of the cloning programs like the one I linked to because it allows you to restore your system files as well as your data.
This is nice because a "normal" reformat and reload of the OS. in your case Windows XP, means downloading service packs, drivers and a complete fresh installation and re-configuration of your setup.
By cloning your boot disk you get the system restored will all updates and configurations back just as it was. A real time saver.
Just how Bill Gates became the World's richest man is a story more like J. D. Rockafeller's than Albert Einstein's. Through swindled or outright stolen ideas or products, coupled with predatory monopolistic tactics he came to dominate the personal computing landscape.
