Thank you for answering! I only have the CD's that came
with it. 2 restore and 1 Device Drivers.
I tried to locate a backup program so I could backup
all my files. Call me stupid, I couldn't find anything.
So I was saving files on floppys. I' give these suggetions
a try. I'm grateful for your time. Michelle

You're welcome, unfortunately, your options are quite limited if you only
have restore CDs but you do have your files backed up and that's good. A
backup, any backup, even what you've done is very empowering as then even
issues such as this or your hard drive dying can't cause you to lose all
your work.

As to a backup application, here's a very robust backup application. They
have a free trial that you can download in order to test it and be sure it
satisfies your needs, it's called Backup MyPC, it's distributed by Stomp and
comes from Veritas, the company that supplies the more limited backup
program included with retail versions of XP:
