I used the xp home utility to back up my files to an external hard drive.
That went fine. I then reinstalled xp operating system form OEM disc to solve
a problem. Problem was solved, but now I can't seem to get the utility to
restore the backup files from the external hard drive. In the restore and
manage window, there are no items to check and the backup files, media
location etc. for the external hard drive don't appear (but I know they are
there).
Reviewing previous questions, I felt that ownership of the files might be
the problem, so I added all rights to owner for documents and mail as well as
the backup folder on the external drive, but that didn't help. Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
