I have windows xp home edition. The book says to go to
system tools, backup for backing up my system. I can not
find backup in system tools nor referenced anywhere by
the help menus. How does windows xp home edition support
system backup?
Thanks.

Had the same problem. It turned out that XP Home does not
have the backup utility activated while XP Pro does.
There is a way to activate the XP Home backup but it
requires the installation CD - which I didn't have because
mine is an OEM installation. Go to

http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/

and try the listing in the upper left

"Windows XP NTBackup Utility [external link]"

This worked for me. Now when you go to your Control
Panel, right click the drive you want to back-up, then
go /properties/tools

you should have error checking, defrag, and backup
available.
