Hi Mike,

Don't have back up in my accesseries/system tools
I have a pre installed version of Windows XP Home on my Sony VAIO
PCG-GRZ630. I can't seem to find the referenced folder or file on my system recovery disks. Should I be looking elsewhere? Thanks, Charles P. (Pat) Upshaw "Kelly" wrote in message ...

As Kelly said in her post, the instructions are for the "Retail" version of
XP home. Most recovery disks are only meant to restore the systems to it's factory settings and are modified by the computer manufacturers. If you have a friend who has the full version, you could copy it off of thier CD. "Charles P. (Pat) Upshaw" wrote in message ...
