back ups help needed
"mrtee" hingelickeratnew.rr.com wrote in message ...
Since it is an OEM installation you probably don't have the backup program. Contact Time and ask them where it is and then why they thought you didn't need it. The program included with XP pro (or home) retail version, only has the ability to backup to floppies or another HD. If you want to backup your entire system to CDs, a 3rd party backup program is needed. I use Acronis (www.acronis.com) True Image. -- Its not included on the preload because it's useless You need a tape drive - and Time dont supply systems with Tape Drives. It wont write to a CD-R/RW. Time decided preinstalling it was more trouble than its worth. For the same reason Microsoft did not include it as a standard install option in XP Home - its hidden away in a folder on OEM CDs though in XP Pro its an install option. For a home user machine best bet is simply to zip up your data and burn to CD. Time took the decision not to supply it to avoid customers trying to use it, when it impossible to use on the hardware they supplied OldDemdike |
