Which operating system ? And what program did you use to back it up with?

i've got a dell dimension pentium 4 ( is this the operating system?) and i'm not sure what program i used. I'm crap with this this pc and it's only when thing go wrong that I have to try and learn a bit more than just getting emails and surfing.

that is the processor, the main 'brain' of the pc, the operating system will be something like windows xp or windows Vista

With the backup CD in your CD/DVD drive, open My Computer (either on your desktop or on the Start menu) and double-click on the CD or DVD drive shown there.

Open My Documents and drag and drop files/folders from the first window onto this window.
