Computer stuff

I bloody love my computer. But it's got to the point where it just is slow and stuff doesn't run right and things disappear... ya know?

So, I really want to just clear the whole thing off and reinstall from scratch. My question, therefore is, is there a guide for doing that?

Like, what is the best way to make sure you save the stuff you need and which programs should I make sure I definitely have the installation discs for etc.?

Is there a good guide for that? A bit of a "Guide to how to reset your computer for dummies"?

If anyone knows of one, could you please link me?
