Backup in Win XP Home
For XP Home, the Backup utility is not installed by default.

Backup in Win XP Home
correct url for Image is http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image.html
-- Harry Ohrn - MS MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "Harry Ohrn" wrote in message ... If you wish to do a full system backup then do not use the Backup Utility that ships on the XP Home CD. It cannot not do a full system backup or Automated System Restore. The version that ships with XP Pro can but not the one that ships with the Home version. Powerquest Drive Image 2002 from www.powerquest.com is a decent app and similar to Ghost with a nice GUI. However "Image" from www.terabytesunlimited.com is a fraction of the cost and will do all that is required when making full system backups either to file or to CD-R. It will even prompt you to erase CD-R/W when spanning multiple disks and the free TBIViewer will enable you to extract individual files from an image. -- Harry Ohrn - MS MVP (Windows Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/ www.webtree.ca/newlife/ "Charles P.
