Windows XP question
One of the things I hate about XP is that I can never find what I am looking for. So this is what I want to do.
#1. My laptop has XP, and a DVD burner. # 2. Desktop has 98SE # 3. Both are networked together. I share files, so laptop sees all that is on desktop. I want to do a system backup, with the goal of putting the restore files on a DVD. So, where is the backup found on XP? On 98 it is Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup. I am not seeing this with XP. Is this because XP has the restore feature? Or am I looking in the wrong place? |

On system tools menu look for the files and settings transfer wizard. This will completely copy everything you need from one drive to another
 After ya copy it just burn it. |

I don't really want to fill up my laptop with all the stuff I have on my desktop to be honest. A few DVD's will suffice. |

That doesn't really help. . . . I guess I can install the DVD burner I bought myself 2 years ago on the desktop. Probably be easier. |

 I think you have something turn off to keep people out of the admin areas. look for something to let you see files. |

I'd suggest using a program like Acronis True Image for backing your shit up. It's a realy nice program and is also good for any XP quirks with hardware upgrades.
Also, you might think about getting an external hard drive for your backups. You can get a 300 gig external pretty cheap, USB or Firewire. Much easier than using multiple DVDs. |
