you need a program like true image 10. With the program you make an image backup of your c: partition. With true image it lets you make an emergency boot cd/dvd. I usually take that ISO file (of the emergency boot cd/dvd) and open it up with a program named ultraISO and add the image backup of my c: partition that I just made, than I save it. Now I have a DVD that will boot up the computer and have the needed backup image on the same dvd.
It is probably best to do an image backup, right away before adding too many programs, that way you can get it to fit in one DVD.
One last thing only use very good quality blank dvd media(verbatim 16X+)
that way you know it'll work when you need it.

It sounds complicated, but I do it all the time. On laptops it might be a little harder but it can be done.
