It is very simple.
You can also do it by simply running windows PC Backup system in system tools menu.
There are two ways for this type of clonning.
Run a manual backup and select you windows drive and system state in the backup selection.
When you will restore it all files of xp will also restore.
Second way with automatic recovery tool.
This is very advance. By this backup you can restore you all files even during installing windows.
First files of windows will install and then files from this backup will restore during new installation of windows.
At the end you will find you system at the same setting you left on the backup date
