    Can some one tell me step by step on how to make a recovery disk. Also is it possible to make one from the pc that Im using because its up to date with all the patches and fixes. I have no original disk anymore and would like to have a recovery disk on hand so when the time comes it won't hurt so bad. I have XP pro sp2.

    You need a program like Symantec Ghost 8, Drive Image 2002, Paragon Drive Backup or Drive SnapShot 1.35. I have always used ghost. All of these cost money. IF your looking for freeware go to http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/backupandimage.shtml
    They have a nice list but i have never used an of them.

    YOU have to know basic DOS. You can really mess up your computer if you
    dont know what u r doing!!!!!!!!!
