Backup for queston #6

Question

Dear Ken,

I thoroughly enjoy your weekly newletters. Here's my situation. I have Windows XP and I don't have a Backup program. I'm told that there's a copy of a backup program on the System Disc that came with the PC. HP does not include a system disc when you purchase a new XP system. How do I go about getting a copy of Backup in order to backup critical files.

Many thanks,

Doug Oates
