I have a hewlett Packard with windows xp home edition on it. When I bought my computer it was already installed on my computer. I was wondering if anyone would know how I could get the back up utility they are talking about in this article http://windows.about.com/library/weekly/aa020203a.htm . I went to start, run and typed in the file name but I got an error message . If you need a screen shot of the error message I will be happy to ablige you with one.
Any help I receive in this matter would be greatly appreciated .
Somewhere at the Microsoft website, it tells you that to add the Backup Utility you need the original CD. I don't have the Recovery CD that came with my computer so I guess I'm out of luck. Of course, I could always go buy Windows XP, but I'm not going to waste $300 on something I already have.
I have an HP laptop...one of the CDs is XP Home Edition SP1a...you need that one. It may be the first recovery disk or be seperate. I do not exactly remember, but you have one like I do.
Still not seeing any that has sp1 on it David, so it must be a seperate cd that came with your computer. Mine I bought from a store and I had to call the company and order the cd's because windows xp came pre-installed on my computer ( btw, I think that is ridiculous that they don't include the cd's with the purchase , its like they never expect your system to crash or anyone to break into your system) but anyhoo... I appreciate your help ..
