some xp-installed computers do not have a feature to create backups of the system that came pre-installed. I personally had to pay $50 to hp to get a set of 8 recovery discs. no-it was not a single CD for just installing windows xp on a computer it was all the software that came on the hard-drive when i bought it. the assumption companies make is that the recovery partition on the hard-drive will never fail you. so if you don't have the windows xp CD you have to use the recovery partition of your drive or recovery CD set.
