install backup utility on xp home edition
i purchased my dell dimention 4500 3 years ago and it's great--never a problem; it runs xp home edition. i want to add the xp backup utility but it must be loaded manually from the xp cd which i can no longer locate. do i have to purchase xp again or is there another alternative??

For the sole purpose of installing the backup utility (but not to install/reinstall XP), you could borrow an XP CD from a friend. Rather than install from the CD, I would copy the folder VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP and its contents to your PC. That way you have the installer in case you need to reinstall it some time.
Ot maybe a friend could copy that folder from their XP CD and put it on a floppy or burn it to a CD for you (it's less than 800kb).
