backing up to an external HD
Posted by LS.
i have some data backed up onto my seagate external hard drive and i have windows xp professional, there are some files i want to copy over to my other pc that has xp home edition.
in XP pro i go to start/allprograms/accessories/systemtools/backup and i can then choose wether to backup or restore data.
With the XP Home edition i dont have that option in the systemtools options, i have copied the data across manually to my other system with xp home on it but it remains encrypted.
Is there a way to un-encrypt this or i am screwed?
i realise that theres going to be differences in home and proffesional editions, maybe this is one of them

ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Sadly the home edition doesn't support encryption. Unless you can find a tool that will do the job, you're only option might be to upgrade your home edition PC to professional. Any XP professional CD can do this.
