backing up to cd

[mark]

Sorry to be redundant here, I need info on how to back up
all my files and settings from my laptop. My version (xp)
doesn't have a backup program with it ! Can someone
cookbook this from me, show me where to find on microsoft
download page, or have other programs that are more
complete? Thanks

OR, install packet writing software! (-:

HOW TO Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition

However:

WinXP's NTBackup does not recognize CDRs or CDRWs as valid backup
media. By design, it will only write back-ups to tape drives or
another physical or logical hard drive. Many people back-up to a
spare hard drive, and then burn the resulting file to a CD, as a
work-around. Another option, of course, is to use a 3rd party backup
solution.
