Unfortunately, she has an HP machine. HP does not distribute installation CDs with its PCs so she cannot install anything that is not already on her machine.
Big drawback to companies that do not include the installation disks. Consumers should demand this.

Hi Cheryl,
Hugh was correct when he stated that there is a backup program included with
XP. Backup is not installed on XP Home by default - only on the Pro version.
To manually install Backup on XP Home Edition:
1. Insert the XP Home Edition CD in the DVD/CD-ROM drive and exit any
windows that appear. In Windows Explorer, navigate to:
DVD/CD-ROM Drive:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP
2. Read the "README.TXT" file paying particular attention to what it says
about ASR (Automated System Recovery). I suggest you copy it to My Documents
or somewhere for handy reference later.
3. Double-click the "NTBACKUP.MSI" file to start a wizard that installs
Backup.
4. When the wizard is complete, click "Finish".

I'm sorry but you are mistaken-the home XP does not have a backup
program-only the Professional XP has this.
God Bless,

There is a backup program included with XP, and you'll find it in System
Tools. If it's not there, you'll need to install it from the CD.
This is a very straightforward program that asks you which files to back up,
and where you want to create the backup.
Unfortunately, XP won't backup to CDs and floppies are too small for most
backups. I use a network PC for this purpose, but you could just create the
backup on your hard drive, then burn it to a CD, if you have that
capability.
You'll find more detail in the Help files under "Backup".
Copying is also a good backup for such files-just burn a CD (Or several, if
needed).
You may wish to include a subject line in future posts so members can get
the gist of your question without having to read the entire email.

I have windows xp, and my computer is HP pavilion a305w. I have pictures
to
back up and no matter what I do nothing works. I have tried everything that
is
written for my computer and it still won't back up my pictures or files. I
thought I had solved it today, but to no avail. Have you any idea what steps
to
take.
