Yes, u can create a auto recover cd for xp. First you need to copy all of the files of xp cd into your computer say C:\winxp. Then go to support\tools folder and there you will find a deploy.cab open it and extract all of the files of it then run setupmgr.exe. Click next. Then click on Create a new answer file and click next. Then click Windows Uattended installation and click next. Then click on the Windows XP Home, Pro which one you are having. Here I have Winxp pro. Then Click next. Then click fully automated and click next. Then click No, this answer file will be used to install from a CD and click next. Then click I accept the terms of license agreement and click next then provide all the information which it asks from you. In the end save it as winnt.sif on desktop and click OK. Then it will tell you whether creating was succesfull or not. Copy this winnt.sif and winnt.bat file to C:\winxp\i386 folder. Download bbie.zip from here. Then extract this to folder say C:\bbie.
Then open command prompt Then type:
cd bbie10
Then insert your Winxp Bootable CD, wait for 30 seconds and then type:
bbie x:
here x is your CD-ROM drive. You must repalce it with your Cd-Rom drive letter.
You can use Nero Burning Rom to make your CD. To do this first install and then open Nero Burning ROM. Click on CD-ROM(Boot) (to get this you have to click on Close Wizard). Then in right side click on "image" Then go to C:\bbie10\. In files types click on all files. Then click on image1.bin and then click open. In downside change "Harddisk Emulation" to "No Emulation". Delete "Nero Boot Loader" and change no. of load sector from 1 to 4. and then click new. Copy all the files of C:\winxp then click on burn it here change Track at Once to Disk at Once. Then click Write. Wait untill burn process completed. Now you have made you Windows XP Auto Recover CD. violla!! Alternatively you can also use Windows Unatended CD Creator.
Then open command prompt Then type:
cd bbie10

what? are u sure it deletes all the HDD data?s18000rpm said:& thats the reason i hate Branded PC's.
if you insert those recovery Disks for recovery, whatever partitions you created gets DELETED, so if your XP goes kaput, samjho sab 'data' gaya Kaam se
@ abhijangda: thanks.although if what s18000 rpm says is true, it would be a wasted effort...

No, it doesn't delete the partition my friend blackleopard92. But it will repair your current windows. s18000rpm is wrong.

I suppose you told him how to created an unattended installation disc. This isn't what he's looking for.

i'm not wrong dude, i said so coz i have a Branded PC- HP Pavilion Desktop.abhijangda said:
the PC came with pre-loaded XP Home Edition & two XP Recovery DVDs.
once my XP went kaput
(some virus problem, back then i was a noob*smilies.sofrayt.com/^/aiw/blush.gif), so i did the Recovery stuff.there's only two options when the Disk run, one is to
Standard Recovery- thru HDD just re-installs over present XP, no data loss.
& the other is
Full Recovery- all data is lost, the PC is set back to Factory settings.
the first option did not work (also i cud not boot into safe mode), so i had to go for second option.
it took 5 hours*smilies.sofrayt.com/^/aiw/shock.gif for full recovery process to finish the job.
