Clarifications

You need to back up these folders and files:
C:\Documents and Settings\
C:\Program Files
C:\Windows
System State

and these boot files on root of C:
Boot.ini, Ntldr, Ntdetect.com

Windows 2003 can do a ASR backup so if you loose the entire HD you can boot from a Windows CD and force an ASR restore from a .bkf file.
