have on the computer. If you have Nero Burning ROM, use Nero Back it

But i dont think thats really necessary, but if you want to be on the

Backing up a computer is a necessary part of using a computer. If you don't
back up you will eventually lose your data. Installing a service pack can
and does go wrong, not often but it does happen. A system restore point will
not help if something goes wrong when installing a service pack especially
SP2.
