Hi, I have downloaded the backup program for windows xp home and I started to
backup onto a dvd-rw 8hrs. ago and it is not halfway completed yet. Is this
normal or am I been impatient?.

prior to installing SP2.

I use the Dos version of http://www.bootitng.com/

Fits on a single boot disk, and has a 30 day version to try so
you know if the program works on your hardware
