I have no backup tool on my computer and my original discs are packed away
(moving). I am hearing odd hums from my CPU and want to backup before I lose
everything. Can anyone help?

For hard-disk backup I'd recommend Cobian Backup:

XP Home? Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not
on XP Home. If you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the
CD, in \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by
doubleclicking the file ntbackup.msi.

If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/ntbackup.msi Also see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

But note that the backup tool built into Windows XP is considerably
poorer than third party alternatives, such as my favorite, Acronis
True Image.

Finally, here's an article on backup I recently wrote and recommend
that you read:

buy an external hard drive and use Acronis true image to backup everything
onto it.
