BACKUP HELP FOR WINDOWS XP
The build in XP backup program does work....albeit slowly.....and
unfortunately cannot back up to a CD.
But you can back up to a specific folder that you create on your HD and then
copy that backup file to a CD.
Thats why it comes up with the naming error.If you have 2 hard
drives/partitions you could back up to the one that does not have XP on it.
I suspect that Dell will use a "restore" CD or partition on your system to
restore everything to the same condition as when you first bought your
system.When you do back up be sure you do not back up into that restore
partition.
I have no idea what D or E drive is on your system.E is most likely your CD
drive but D could be anything from a separate drive to a partition on drive
C.You safest backup is to a CD..by way of a HD.
