my computer when I got it. I want to use the the Backup utility loacted in to
System tools folder (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools). Becouse

BACKUP UTILITY


To manually install Backup:
Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file in the following location on the Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM
to start a wizard that installs Backup:
CD-ROM Drive:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP
When the wizard is complete, click Finish.

If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at:

*** You may have to hold your Shift key down when clicking on above to save the file to disk. Note
that OEM PC makers dont have to provide all the utils on their custom XP cds.
