Win xp backup file

[David Burkett]

I upgraded to Win XP from Win Me and I noticed there is
no backup file for Win xp upgrade. Can I download a copy
of it and install it in Win Xp or is it hiddden some
where on the upgrade disk.

Thank You

David,

Windows XP Professional Edition and XP Home both ship with NTBackup. But
only XP Pro installs NTBackup by default. You can install NTBackup for XP
Home by performing the following steps:

Insert the XP Home CD-ROM.
Navigate to the VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP folder.
Double-click the ntbackup.msi file to install NTBackup.

The fact that it's an upgrade edition is irrelevant. Presumably
you have XP Home Edition. Backup is installed automatically on XP
Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have 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
