Good Morning,

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the problem was XP not necessarily
Windows 2000. That's why
The problem was in fact WinXP. XP won't let me write the files to the disk
for some reason.
Well guess what? I have a Win98 workstation. I am able to restore the files
to this Win98 workstation and then I am copying the files to the WinXP
workstation. This time I am thankful that Win98 is not as secure as a WinXP
workstation. I use that Win98 for 11 x 17 printing that is connected to it.
Thanks for your help anyway. But yes you CAN restore over the nextwork from
the Windows Backup Software. I think I just have to find out how to release
the permissions on the WinXP machine.

Have a blessed day!

Anthony....
