Add backup of XP Home edition.

I have XP Home edition pre-installed on my laptop, but no CD of Windows XP, how do I now add "backup" to my system tools. I have an extra hard drive to store all my data backup but no way to perform a backup.

I've included if how to make if you have a CD just for completeness:
The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:
\ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP
Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.
Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:
Here is another article that explains how to:
If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link:

Do, or do not. There is no test.

Someone please tell me how to make figgy pudding like these kids keep saying they won't until they get some.

  • Backups with Windows XP Home Edition

    Backups I have XP Home Edition and after losing my hard drive and all my data etc. I'm trying to make a backup and find that there is no provision for this. Seems like Microsoft should have a program of free download for us newbies to make backups with. All thoughts of my best option?   Thank you.   Rene C

    I really want to save system files and program files and all the data files created by the programs. Is this possible? I found just reload the programs I've had discs for was a real pain. If my new hard drive should fail I would avoid the hassle, the next time.   Rene C

    XP Home Edition can not do what you ask the subject. Your best bet is to buy a third-party program to create an IMAGE of your hard drive. I recommend you store this file archive image on an external hard drive. I happen to love Acronis True Image Home, which is good in what you give the possibility to create additional images.

    These web pages have useful info:

    Related to Internet explorer, you can download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org or Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome and use them as alternatives.

    Regarding backups, I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Three I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 8 years no 1 problem), Easeus Todo Backup free, you can download it on http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.
    The March 2012 issue of PC World is very high on Easeus FREE program, and I was recently tested in a variety of configurations and must say that I am very impressed.  As Ghost will support up to a network drive and it will create a bootable CD for when your PC does not start.  See commentary to PC World to

    Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).
    -
    External hard drives are the best for backup. You can get a 500 GB one for $70 and a 1.5 to one for about $90. You can also buy a flash drive 16 GB for as little as $10. It is the best insurance you can buy ever!

  • Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

    Setup of Windows 8 consumer priview

    Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

    You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

    If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

    (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
    To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
    http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
     
     
    (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
    Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/ISO
    After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
     
     
    (3) installation on a separate partition for dual boot:
    1 make a DVD or USB installation drive - to see the two options above.
    2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
    3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
    4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
    5 continue with the installation.
       
     
     
    First of all please note:
    1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
    2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
    3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
    4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:
    (A) remove your current hard drive and install the Preview of consumers on a spare drive.
    (B) install it on a spare computer.
    (C) install the Preview of consumer in a virtual machine.

  • Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

    I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

    I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

    What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

    Hi JackieFerrs

    It is possible that the virus has every firmware corrupted on that either its MBR (Master Boot Record). Unfortunately, the other means that your data is probably lost. But... before you'll start to panic please see below what you can do.

    Please visit this link: 'Western Digital My Book Home Edition 1TB_downloads' and...

    1. use the backup utility to backup your data if you have not done.

    2 use the software update on hard drive firmware update.

    3. use the software (all) link to download software for your Windows PC.

    4. download and install Drive Manager (if you wish).

    5. If still no luck on the connection that enables the link diagnostic tool to scan your drive for some questions.

    I hope this helps.

    All the best.

  • XP Home Edition limited question user account windows updates.

    Is windows assume update in limited user accounts?  This is not to do it for me.   When you are logged as long as limited user, I can only run windows updates with ' run as ' administrative rights and windows updates will be download but do not settle.  I have to log on to the administrator user account to install the updates.  Therefore, it seems that for individuals (notwithstanding a technical and complicated solution) you must be connected to the computer account admin to install windows updates.  Is this correct?  Thank you.

    As for the specific error I was getting when you try to manually run windows update in LUA, where I could download but not, the error was "Windows could not install the following update with error 0x8024200e'

    It isn't the mistake that we would expect to see if the user account was not permission to install updates (for example, 0x8007F002), especially in WinXP Home Edition.

    This gives a shot:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty mode and then AGGRESSIVE and DEFAULT. [1]

    5. restart & test.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] you must be aware that the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your history of update (to the Windows Update Web site), but will not affect the updates listed in Add/Remove programs.

    Specifications:

    Sony VAIO, XP Home Edition SP3 computer - if any other information is needed, please let me know.

    --------

    The main problem is that after the update via Windows Update from SP2 to SP3 has caused the USB ports to stop working. I tried everything that is listed on this Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249, contacting Sony, System Restore (for some reason, I did not define a restore point before installing SP3!), unplug the computer for a few hours (which works for about 10 seconds after putting a flash drive into a USB port, but then the USB port stops working) , research in the folder where the update is supposed to be in (but he's not here), looking in Add/Remove Programs, remove registry, searched files via Google answers, etc., etc.

    Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    You do not use / have you used "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic;) Registry Booster; CCleaner)?

    The above, if WinXP SP3 is not listed in Add/Remove Programs, the only way you can remove it would be formatting your HARD drive and do a clean install of Windows XP.

  • MY home pc has been configured as a workgroup instead of a pc in the House. How can I change this using xp home edition?

    My brother did a clean reinstall of my xp home edition and it is configured as a workgroup instead of a personal computer at home. I need to change that. What I have to reinstall XP Home Edition or can it be done with the repair on my xp home disk option?  Create problems that I have my user account and the user account from my children.  All I want is to have this setup of working group last. Help, please

    I don't think he did his PC a "domain". This would require a server operating system and the domain controller.

    I don't see any problem with your configuration. 'Administrators' are a group of users, not a user. 'Administrator' is a user who belongs to this group 'Administrators' and therefore share the same privileges. There is no user named "admin" unless you create.

    If I understand correctly, you can connect to the administrator account. So, you don't miss any privileges or access to the computer. If you want to use a different account for yourself you can create and use that one.

    I ask for your specific problem. You don't tell him, at least no that looks like a problem. You seem to be confused about the installation, but I see nothing non-standard in your description apart because the administrator account is usually "hidden" after installation.

    You mention an internet problem. This has nothing to do with the configuration of your account or the "working group". And what is the problem with having backup privileges? I don't understand your remark on your child's account. Sounds more like you're talking about an account on a site, with Xbox, or almost, but not with local accounts. A local account didn't need "activation".

    I think you should talk to your brother in case you have problems. It seems to be knowledgeable enough to fix everything for you.
