Because ASR doesn't appear to work in XP(Home)...

GOOGLING around we see that ASR apparently doesn't work in XP(Home).
The workaround appears to be to create a boot floppy consisting of the
files: boot.ini, Ntidr, and NTdetect.com files.
I've done that, and in a seperate action, used backup to do a full
system backup (to another drive).
Do I have all I need to recover? - Mike

ASR does not work in Windows XP Home and I do not think that there is
a way round this.
I would spend the money for a professional backup software like Norton
Ghost. ASR is not that good...
