If I have a computer, with Windows Home Edition preloaded and do not have
the original CD, can I use someone else's original Home Edition CD to add in
Ntbackup.msi ?

Yes. It can be found in the VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP folder on the installation
CD.

You can also download the file from this web site.

Direct download of ntbackup.msi.

On a side note, Ntbackup is a handy program to backup selected data files. If
you're looking to backup your entire system you should consider an imaging
program such as Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost.

Good luck
