Hey I don't know but backing-up and restoring in XP isn't just a matter of copying - there's a heck of a lot more to it than that.  XP comes with its own backup program which is not installed by default, you have to specifically install it from the XP cd.  Have a look here

Note that the entire XP registry should not be backed up using export/import  -  that simply will not work!!

Are you wanting to restore your whole system including all the programs and data or just your data?
