Re: hard drive disappeared

I was interested in the Windows Backup utility you mentioned Matt and have been researching it. I have an OEM 2001 version of Windows XP Home, which came pre installed on my Packard Bell computer, behind a hidden partition. This has been removed from my computer and is now on 3 Master CD's. The recovery process is started by a floppy disk. I have read that if you own a Windows XP Home Disk you can find the Valueadd File on it and in there is a MSFT File that contains the NTBackup. Unfortunately my master CD's do not contain such a file, so I have been trying to find a download of it. The only thing I have found is an ehanced add-on for the NTBackup from www.softswift.com/Download.aspx. I don't think this contains the back up software itself. I have searched Microsoft Downloads too, with no luck. Is there anywhere I can obtain this Windows back up utility? I see if you have Windows XP Pro it is installed with the operating programme. Thank you.
