What Andrew said!!!!....
There's no substitute for having original install files/disks/serials.
Use windows backup or something like Acronis true image to backup a snapshot of your current HDD. That backup will be only of use if restored to the same hardware, if your PC has a terminal illness then

The Seagate Black Armour NAS comes with backup software (Rebadged Acronis) so it's a nice option.
