prateek55,
Here are the steps to create disk.
Choose Create Recovery Media
Select Create System Recovery Discs to continue.
Requires the user to insert a recordable media. Upon initiating this process, it is important to have uninterruptible power supply.
Recordable media required for this process is either a DVD or Blu-ray disc. CD or DVR -RW are not allowed.
Validating page appears and displays the type and number of media required for the backup process. Click Next button to continue. Number of recordable media required depends on the size of the system file. It is important to have the required discs to complete the process.
Display on process and progress of backup. Time to complete the process may vary depending on system speed and specification
Confirmation page appears to inform the process is complete. Click on Finish button to return to main page.

I apologize that I am not expressing myself correctly.
I know how to use the software on my windows 7 computer.
I don't have the software that I paid for on my laptop.
How do I install the backup software that has been loaded on my win 7 computer to the win XP computer.
Which file must I copy over to do the installation?

The software is OEM and hence licensed for 1 computer only. You cannot install Windows 7 on your Laptop using Dell DataSafe and have to purchase a separate license of Windows 7 for it.
