Take a look under the Apple menu at Mac OS X software.
Where are you planning on storing the data, not the system, during the surgery?
Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper will clone your HD but you will need a working OS to place the clone on the new drive.
That said, you will need a working system to to use the backup software too.
If you are not planning on carrying this iBook around, have you considered an external, Firewire, drive as an alternative to surgery?

I?m looking for a free back up software for my mac, and want to know what to use. I?m going to have to be able to reinstall my OS and files after a new hard disk, I?m using OS X 10.4
Thanks!
