I 'd like to back up my windows xp home(2002) sp3 o/s to an apple time capsule which a mac is currently connected to. It's been suggested to me that if I find backup on the pc, I may then find the option to backup using the time capsule. I read that although backup is provided with xp, you have to install it. I looked on the recovery cd, but there is no backup to install. I looked in start/all programs/accessories/system tools for backup, but where it should have been, at the top, if already installed, I saw 'activate windows'. A friend sold me this pc, which is a compaq pressario, AMD 64 3200, suggesting I just use my old hard drive with it. He said he had a job getting the hardware to work with the pc, and said something about activating windows. Everything was on the hard drive as it had been before.

I only now wonder if my friend has somehow got the o/s to operate on different hardware, without activating windows in the usual way, thus leaving me without the backup normally provided.

If you know what has happened and how I can find the backup, and should I do anything about this 'activate windows', I'll be glad to hear from you.:)
