How do I do an archive and install?

[ramdog]

I don't have installation disks for my iBook g4, however it has been suggested i do an archive and install. It states I am using all 37.1 GB of space, however I have no music, downloads or files on my computer that I have put on to use up space. I have a done a repair already and to no avail.
