Putting OS recovery partition onto CD

Comment:

Hi - just a quick question: I have XP Media Center Edition on my PC. I don't have the CD though, only the recovery partition. Is there any way to write that to CD??

Depends on exactly how have it and how you want it to be used. You can make a copy of the partition with g4u, ghost or acronis or even dd. Copy file to dvd. I doubt you would be able to recover your system by a bootable disk from this unless you study it more. Might be dos based or xp pe or pe 2.x and then you might be able to make a disk. Some systems allow you to master one or more disks, see owners manual. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
