Stephaney Trahd's post:--- <<<< Thanks so much for your response. I'm going to try to do the first XP backup you suggested, but I can't find it in the "help" section. Can you tell me how to do it or where to find it? I really, really appreciate it! Stephanie >>>> In addition to the very useful links posted by Sven, you should find the following two microsoft sites useful in your case. (1) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/getstarted/backup.mspx (2) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320820 . NOTE:--- URL (2) IS FOR WIN XP HOME JUST IN CASE.
