windows backup

[Guest fishpond]

using windows xp home backup utility, files seem to load to new wd passport

drive [f:\] ok, but when i try to open those files i receive message:

f:\backup1.bkf is not a valid win32 application. drive is formatted to ntfs

to match my hard drive. files that i copy and paste to f:\ drive open fine.

can anyone help?

thank you
