What is the easiest software available for backing up and restoring a
working valid XP installation? My dentist doesn't want to learn a lot
but he would like an easy way to restore his system after his young son
corrupts it with viruses, games, bad configurations, etc. He's not too
technical when it comes to computers, so I was wondering if anyone knew
of a very straightforward software that would allow him to restore his
system, even when it wasn't booting.

For my money there is no substitute for cloning the current drive to
another. It is an immediate answer to the type of problem you describe
above. Images work, but take time. A clone is immediate and you are
working again.

For the cloning there are several answers, but I have seen Casper work,
and it is worth looking into.
