How do you make a winxp System recovery disk?

[Stevepbnk2]

Hi all,

I've been doing some overclocking to push my system to the limit, but when I reach the limit windows craps out, and gets a corrupted system32/config/system file or some other error.

So,,,I put in the winxp disk and think, hey I'll press F2 at the prompt and try Automated system recovery . But it asks for the 3-1/2 inch ASR disk???

Are there any ways to recover important system files other than the backup utility (which I still need to wipe out the drive and reload winxp to run the backup file)

How do you make a Automated system recovery disk, or for that matter is it possible to reload winxp over itself as you could do in win98?

Thanks for any shared knowledge!!

I have had the same problem on mine and all I can say is its time to reinstall, sorry.

If you use the recovery disk you can install WinXP in the same directory (It deletes the old WinXP) and you get to keep all your data on your HD

Ok, I think i found out how to make it..

In the backup utility, switch from wizard mode to advanced mode then there is an option to make the disk!
