Windows XP Backup Utility help

[Guest]

I want to install Windows XP Backup Utility. The Microsoft Knowledge Base
says that it isn't installed by default with Windows XP Home Edition and I
should install it from the disk. But I bought my computer with Windows
pre-installed so I have no disk.

I contacted the computer manufacturer (a large reputable company) and they
maintain that XP Home Edition does not come with Windows Backup Utility, even
though the Microsoft site says it does. At one point the manufacturer even
suggested I download a pirate version from a Geocities site!

How can I install Windows XP Backup Utility without a disk?

Thanks
