Disk Defragmentation
A defragmentation utility is included with Windows XP. Several vendors sell this
utility as well such as DiskKeeper. Make certain you defragment your disk drives

Creating an Emergency Repair Disk
You should create an emergency repair disk as soon as possible. Use this disk if

Backup.
2) The Backup Utility Wizard should start by default unless it is disabled. If the
Wizard has been disabled, select Tools then Switch to Wizard Mode.
3) Click the Advanced Mode button found in the text.

entering the destination for the backup file, click Next> again, and finally, Finish.
The Windows XP Backup utility will copy all important system files and settings
to the backup file. An estimate and status bar are provided. After this step is
