Laptop Backup .. questions before i do it !

Guys .. I decided that my laptop needs a format .. however , I cant format it because I dont have the original vista DVD , but the vista which is installed on he laptop is original . so I will use the backup DVDs to restore the laptop to its manufacture first time statues ! but before doing that I have some questions :

#My laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo pi 2540 running on vista:

1. I have somke files on D drive , will the backup affect them ?

2. I have 250GB divided into 120GB for C drive and the rest for D drive .. I would like to make a 3rd portion and change the sizes .. is that possible using backups , I can empty the harddisk and put all my files on a safe place.

3. I have a file on drive C named "x86" .. it contains a vista setup file ... is this kinda the OS setup that I can use alone for a format ?

4. Can I have windwos XP beside the vista ... how I would do that ?

sorry for such questions .. this is the first time I use backup drives and vista backup ...
thanks for advancing ..
