>From the included help (Start -> Help) in Windows XP Pro:

"You can also use the Automated System Recovery Wizard in the Backup utility
to help you repair your system."

A shortcut to NT Backup is normally found under Start -> Programs ->
Accessories -> System Tools. It is installed by default for Windows XP Pro.
For Windows XP Home, you have to install it manually from the installation
CD under, I think, some "ValueAdd" subdirectory; see the following Microsoft
KB article:

HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

NT Backup is not installed by default in Windows XP Home because it isn't
supported but it should work. Read the following article:

An Error Message Is Displayed When You Attempt to Use the Automated System
Recovery Wizard
