Recovery Disk

[society]

It’s been two weeks since I bought a new computer, and I’m afraid to use it. Yes, terrified I might break it!

The computer did not come with a recovery disk and I’m afraid if I mess it up I will not be able to get it back in working condition. (I love to tinker with computers and unknowingly break them). The computer came pre-loaded with XP Pro. My question is how do I make a recovery disk? I have looked through several old post on here, and online instructing how to go about making one but the instructions are still not clear to me, I don’t understand how to do what has been told. I need instructions with simple words please. Please help me.

And then what, assuming the machine even supports the new hard disk...?

There is where your expertise comes in.

I posted on here for recommendations and guidance because I don't know anything about what I am thinking of doing. Do you think the machine will not support a larger capacity hard drive?

Hi 'Society'.
Instead of trying to make a recovery disk better try to make a clone of your Operating system, partition c: and save it to a DVD. The simplest way is to use it with Norton Ghost. Tutorials you can find a lots, especially here http://createrecoverydisk.com Media URL: http://createrecoverydisk.com/easy-way-to-make-resore-disk/
