BACK UP Software on XP - NEED HELP!

[Guest]

Dear Experts,
i followed the instructions to install the backup program from XP home
edition. i have a 160GB external drive and connected to the program. i ran it
and it only copied 4gb, saying that that 4gb is the limit for the program to
copy files. as i take lots of digital pictures i have about 40 gb on my
computer and cant find a free and easy to use backup program.

anyway to get around this 4gb limit, or any freeware suggestions for easy to
use backup software - any help greatly appreciated!

The 4GB limit is due to your external drive being formatted in FAT32. You
need to convert it to NTFS
