Need lots more detail?
Can you browse to the shared folder?

I can access the shared folder from any pc on the network in xp

Have you checked the box to allow remote sharers to modify files ?

Files in shared folder can be modified in xp

is that what you mean

Yes. Can you create other types of files ? I assume by image you mean jpg/gif/bmp/png ? Or do you mean a disk image, for backup ? Do you have enough space on the drive with the shared folder ?

[edit]looks like you meant a backup rather than a picture. Is the drive NTFS? FAT32 has a size limit for files, 4GB I think

How is the computer you are running Redo on connected to your network? If it is a wireless connection then the Live CD may not have the correct wireless driver.

In which case connect the machine to the router using a cable, and try again.

No its all wired

it doesnt find the shared folder when i search

i was hoping someone familiar with the program could advise me how to manually do it or suggest an alternative
