Hi, I have an HP desktop which came pre-installed with Windows XP SP2. I do
not seem to have MS Backup installed, nor do I have the XP CD-ROM.

Does anyone know where or how I can get Backup installed?

Cheers
 
Borrow one:

HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q302894

In Pro you can find it here: Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Backup

The Backup utility is not included in the default installation of Windows XP
Home Edition. The Backup icon is not present on the Start menu in Windows XP
Home Edition, nor is Backup listed in Add Remove Programs for Windows XP
Home edition.

To manually install Backup for a Home "retail" version:

Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file in the following location on the Windows
XP Home Edition CD-ROM to start a wizard that installs Backup: CD-ROM Drive
:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP. When the wizard is complete, click Finish.

Contact HP and get the disk you need. It is your boot disk and you will need
it for troubleshooting some time.

Click to expand...


Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If
you have or can borrow the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the CD, in
\ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by doubleclicking the file
ntbackup.msi.



If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at
