I know it sound stupid but I heard some of you did that.
I just want recovery disk when computer have new install of win xp pro but later it crash due virus but didn't want reformat then put product keys then huge trouble with active key. I hate call Microsoft because that. I think I did about 25 times and 10 times fail because stupid automatic messager say I gave wrong keys or say you already use that key and will not allow you use that plus refused to let me contact Customer service. I try reinstall my friend's laptop so I got angry then he bought win xp home so it install there.
If you don't understand what I am say.
It like system restore but I mean full restore back to new install? Like back up win xp pro with program on cd or dvd then later computer have problem but just insert disk in there then it back to oringial that it was set when new.
And I am tired of reformat then install win xp home or pro. I know it can save win xp pro on dvd then later it crash won't boot up or win xp pro gone then just put dvd in dvd's drive then restore then it have win xp pro again.
