BACK-UP/Copy Hard Drive Question

-I have been slowly reading the ng and came across the message below in
response to another poster.
I am running XP Pro.
I have 4 hardrives with one dedicated to documents and such. Three have
plenty of space(152gb) and the OS sits on C which is 20 gb. I decided to
use the backup that came with XP and went through the wizard, and I now have
a complete copy of C drive on my H drive.
I am wondering two things:
will i be able to use that copy if I need to replace c drive due to
problems, assuming i can get into the h drive through safe mode?
if i copy the folder with the backup file to a cd, will it boot the machine
if i am unable to get into for some reason or another.
I do have the original cd's of the OS, plus ghost cd's that were made when
the computer was built. Howver, that was several years ago and many things
have changed.
I keep cpoies of all programs on h as well so that I don;t have to go
through all the rigamarole of finding them.
thanks for any help with two questions.
