Re: XP Home BackupWizard not installed and no CD!

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You're very welcome :-)

I noticed that Shenan Stanley's post, which arrived several minutes before
mine, also contained a link to download the install file for the backup
utility.....I don't know whether you noticed that or not.

Have a great day!!

Hi,

I have windows XP home on my laptop and I need to backup my drives.
After
doing much research i found out that i need to install backupwizard
from a
windows CD however I dont have a cd with my laptop.

The licence number for my windows and the key is on the bottom of the
laptop
but i have no cd.

Can I download the backup wizard or is there another way to install it?

Thank you for your help.

Harriet
