Can we go back a stage. Have you actually double clicked on the file Ntbackup.msi in your XP Home CD and installed the programme? If you have, then you can use the programme by going to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup. When you run the programme for the first time, remove the tick in the box about using the wizard click OK then close it down. Now reopen it and you will get the Backup Utility menu displayed. You cannot use the wizard because ASR (Automated System Recovery) is not supported in XPHome. The wizard will fail at the point when it asks you to insert a floppy disk.
When you see the Backup Utility, click on the Backup tab. Here you can decide what you want to backup. Then at the bottom of that screen you need to change the backup location. This cannot be a CD or DVD drive but it can be your external hard disk.
Should you want to restore your data, again you cannot use ASR becasue it's not supported in XPHome. All you can do is open Backup and then select the files you want to restore.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
