How do I find the windows back up utility if my system was pre-installed?

The backup utility is only available in Windows XP Pro.
With that said. No matter what your start menu is you'll find the backup
utility in the properties menu of your hdd. So select any drive from say
windows explorer or my computer and right click and choose properties. Go
to tools and there should be an option called backup.
If you have XP Home, only Error-checking, and defragmentation will be
available.
Also, the backup utility should be found in start, all programs,
accessories, system tools, backup.

Correction. The NT Backup program is not *installed* by default when
you install Windows XP Home. Nor is NT Backup listed in the Add/Remove
Windows Components wizard. However, it *is* available on the
installation CD. I think it is under a ValueAdd directory; there is a
Microsoft KB article on finding it and installing it for Windows XP Home
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=302894).
If Windows was pre-installed, availability of NT Backup depends entirely
on what the jobber gave you with the system. If he gave you a standard
unmodified OEM CD from Microsoft, it is there. If the jobber compiled
their own CD, or they stuck an image in a hidden partition, then they
decided whether to include it or not. If all you got from the jobber
was a disk image then all it is useful for is to restore the drive back
to the same state as when it was sold.
