back up windows xp only? well, unless you want to search for all the files that got installed when you installed xp, i suggest you ask a friend for the cd or ... ahem... "download" it. although, if you do "download" it, don't really discuss it here.

i dunno, but if you lived near me (and i trusted you) i would let you borrow my cd, but, i dunno where you live nor i know you

I don't think XP copies the installation files to the HD like ME does. So your **** outta luck. PM.

Norton ghost saved my butt quite a few times. You could try just backing up your windows, root, and program files directories. That would probably be enough to restore it.

im pretty sure xp copies everything cause when i install something it asks me to put in the cd or use the files on the hdd i just dont know where the installation files are stored
