Hey guys! I was wondering whether it is possible to make an xp installation disk from a backup disk within xp itself. ex. restore point or when a third party burning program that shipped with your computer like Roxio has an option that says "make backups of your system" or something like that? thanks!

Nice thank you. But do you think i'll be able to take my xp data and put it on a new partiton on my vista computer to be able to dual-boot? (Can i create an xp installation disk from the backup of the harddrive?) Or can i download a 60 day trial from M$ of xp and under the serial code too unlock it can i put the serial code under any of my other xp computers,if you catch my drift?
SORRY I do not use vista.nor will i use vista..to many problems with it. ye asked about xp and i gave you the best answer i know to use for a back up.. quote (Can i create an xp installation disk from the backup of the harddrive?) yes with the above program.as s soon as i installed xp i made a back up to a dvd.it will be a total system restore disk..
