This may sound stupid, but how do you backup important system files to a CD in Windows XP home? I am installing Linux to dual boot and I don't just want to use system restore, I want to backup to a CD. Thanks for any help!

You need a CD writer. Do you have one?

I should have specified, I can do that, I want the important system data, the stuff system restore saves.

You can use <b>Files and Settings Tranfer Wizard</b> and <b>Backup</b> (both of them are located at All programs\Accessories\System Tools).

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
