Prevent Windows XP Disasters - Backup Your System

I had same problem a while back. Its because you have XP home. No problem though, you can install the backup utility from the windows cd (borrow one if you havent got one, licence key isn't an issue) or you can download it as I did. Can't remember were I got the download, but google it and you'll find it, it'll install to correct place automatically

how do u know if you have winxp pro.. i have it, I tried looking in system tools but back up isnt there. i typed in ntbackup and that didnt work either.

i dont have that back up app
do you know where i can get a 3rd party one or something like that

Chose your C: drive that should not be empty, you need to select the drive that has content. If you have another drive thats empty thats an area you would save you backups to.

uhm
ok when you pick a drive to choose your back up in, my computer says that the drive is empty so what do i do?

WINDOW XP PROFESSIONAL

Ahhh...I didn't catch that you needed xpPRO. Oh well..

Same here. It's now showing in system tools nor does ntbackup work.

if you have a virus and you do a restore all you are doing is pushing the virus back to a earlier date when the date that you got the virus elapses again the the virus again will effect you PC. When backing up your system is more logical a Restore doesn't replace corrupted system files associated with viruses and apyware also adware. Advice though I would do a virus scan also a adware scan before backing up your system files so you are not backing up adware, spyware, and virus .dll files

i remember using this utility in my lap with xp home but right now some how my xp is not showing this utility in my system typing nt backup from run also not working any suggestion buddies

if you type Ntbackup and didn't work you don't have Windows xP Professional
it only work winxp pro

whats backing up files do?

uhm.. i dont have it o_o...

Thanks!

Btw Wiz Kid, how you get your videos so smooth?

The backup is not really meant for you to restore after you formatted the drive. If Windows crashed and you need to restore, you wouls try booting in SAFE Mode and doing a restore instead. If your going to reformat then your already restoring everything to defaults.
