What functions replace the "old" backup & restore
functions and how do you use them? My brothers pc got
the bloodhound virus and needs the MS04-011 patch, which
I downloaded but have no way to move it from my pc to
his. I do not have a CD burner.

Please reply in English,
Thank you,
Bruce

Windows XP still has backup and restore capability. Do you have
XP Home? Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional,
but not on XP Home. If you have the complete XP Home CD, find
backup on the CD, in \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it
yourself by doubleclicking the file ntbackup.msi.

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

I'm not sure that Backup and Restore will particularly help you
in this case. Can you E-mail it him? Or E-mail it a friend with a
CD burner?
