Backup via systemtools/backup
I havae a Win XP. I can backup to my external drive (G) using Norton Ghose
and/or do manual backups so G is recogniszzed as on My Computer. I wanted to try the backup via system tools/backup but when I get to the option to select drive my External Drive (G) is not on the list and there is no way to just type it it. How can it be added?

What "system tools/backup" are you talking? There is no "backup" under "system tools" (in Computer Management). If you mean %windir%\system32\ntbackup.exe, it works fine for me. I can run it and select my USB Thumb drive as destination. And backup my stuff successfully.

He is not talking about System Tools in the Computer Management screen he is talking about "Backup" under Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools. I have an HP with Windows Media Center and that is exactly where they installed the Backup or Restore Wizard, same as ntbackup.exe that you mentioned.

Backup via systemtools/backup
Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Backup and you get the Backup or
Restore Wizard and you click next until you come to a page Where To Backup and all it shows is my floppy drive and my zip drive. -- Joni "Harry" wrote: On Dec 4, 11:15 am, "Joni" wrote: I havae a Win XP.

I do not use Ghost but, I do back up to an external drive. It would just fine with the windows backup--I do not use the Backup Wizard. all you need do is click the backup tap and select the files to backup and then the destination drive. Use the advanced feature to verify your backup.
