Back up utility not on computer under system tools

Question

I have a Dell 1505 laptop that came with windows XP pre-installed. I wanted to do my first system backup and use the back up utility that comes with XP but it is not on my system. The system did not come with the windows disks since they say it is all on the hidden partition of my hard drive.   Can someone tell me how to get this back-up utility to show up so I can use it?   Thanks Steven

Contact Dell for the xp cd. See the post at the top of this forum. Backup is on the disk. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302894/

One last thing, is the windows backup utility like Ghost or acronis that does an image? I want to be able to get my system back to where it was if it crashed which would also include my MS Outlook e-mails and contact information.   Thanks
