Need help creating ASR on XP Home Ed.

[jd]

I'd like to create an ASR disk for my sytem. I have XP
Home Ed running on an Intell P4, 2GHz.

According to the instructions under "Help and Support",
to do this you go to: All Programs:Accessories:System
Tools, and there is supposed to be a "Backup" utility
option. My menu shows "System Restore" but no "Backup"
utility option. What the deal here? - How can I create an
ASR disk.

I've also tried doing this in Safe Mode, but there is
no "Backup" option there either.

Thanks,

jd

NTBACKUP is not installed by default in windows XP Home:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q302894
If Windows XP is OEM, you may or may not have these files.

Also see:

Also, ASR is not available with Windows XP Home, it is a feature of
Windows XP Pro.

By default the backup is not installed on 'Home Edition' It should be on
your CD which you can load. If you do not have a CD the manufacturer on most
systems provided a means to extract and install it from yoir harddrive. I
have heard however Sony PC's do not have it on their hard drives.
