[Guest]

Have read how to back up Xp home edition and says to insert the disk and run
extras to load the software to enable me to back up files, my PC never came
with any disks XP was already on the PC. What can I do ?

Mirror the entire drive on a partition or different drive. JJ

The above is my recommended routine... There's nothing finer than being able
to grab a known good working clone and be up and running again in a matter
of a few minutes as opposed to needing to reinstall everything all over
again.
