How Do You Create An SP3 XP Recovery Disk?
Creating a recovery disk for your Windows XP SP3 computer will enable you to preserve your computer’s current state to return to that point in time if you ever experience an unsolvable system calamity. This can be done by using the Backup utility in your XP SP3 system and condensing the information on your computer to a single backup file. Click “Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup.” Click “Back up files and settings” and select “All information on this computer.” Select the “Desktop” as the location to store the backup file and press “Finish.” The backup file will be created. This process can take some time depending on the size of your hard drive and the speed of your computer. Open your DVD-burning program and select “Data Disk (DVD).” Insert the blank DVD into the computer.
