Windows xp recovery setup disk

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Windows was installed on the computer when it was bought and a restore disk was never made. I can fix all of the problems with the computer if i can just get it to boot, a young user has badly corupted serval files includeing the firewall. I just need to be able to run windows, fix the files and create a restore disk incase this happens again.

What many users do not know is that they have options to turn a recovery CD into a bootable standalone CD that they can use to install the Windows XP operating system. You only need one tool and the recovery CD of course. Download the tool XP Iso Builder and install it on your system.

Create a temp directory for the new CD on your hard drive, name it XP for instance. Copy the complete recovery CD to the temporary folder. Make sure you copy hidden and system files as well check in folder options that they are shown when you browse directories.
