The easiest or the best?

For a one-time backup, the best way is to throw in a DVD-R or some CD-Rs into your writer drive, drag and drop and burn whatever important data that you need (like your "my documents" and other files. Make sure that you have the original software programs also on CDs that either came with your computer or that you purchased. If you haven't purchased some, then maybe consider buring the installation files onto a CD or DVD as well.

Now microsoft actually has a built in backup program in windows XP. Its under Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools. If its not there (as in most home editions), check inside the directory on your harddrive or on the WinXP installation CD for XP called "Valueadded" and run a file called NTBACKUP.MSI.

Other programs also can back up your computer, like Norton Ghost, but the microsoft one is free with windows.
