I am guessing you made the system backup using Windows XP so you should be able to restore it the same way.  Go to START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > BACKUP.  You will then see an option to restore from a backup.\n\nI hope this is what you're looking for.\n\nGood luck!

Try to use Norton Ghost which will be more helpful to reformat the system to its initial positon. \n\nOnce u installed all necessary s/w try to take a copy of a partition. Norton Ghost will do it for u. it will save as a Image file.\nOnce u do that it will be used as a source for recreating the partition. \n\nWhen there is any system crash use boot disk to enter OS. then run ghost to overwrite the partition. Now u can see that the system is ready with all necessary s/w within 15 - 25 minutes.

Your better off to backup all your files and create yourself a  new administrator account, and delete the old one. Thats what I had to do.
