I am currently using the "Make a happy man Go Insane OS Vista" which goes in the trash, I bought Brand New OEM Windows XP Home Edition, which I am eager to know once I install this after suppression and reformatting the hard disk, I installed Windows XP does it also create a backup / recovery partition on the disk, so I will not have to use the CD to reinstall if something happens, or will I have to create the partition recovery myself, or is there a program that I can use to create Windows XP recovery partition on the hard drive.
All ideas or assistance will be helpful

Hello,
A complete version of Windows XP an OS (OEM or not) will not act as a system recovery or restore CD.
The CD can be used to help repair or install the missing files Windows but you have to reformat and do a clean install again if you get a virus or something. This also applies to using the System Restore in Windows XP.
You can use Norton Ghost and a disk or cloning software ghosts / clone a hard drive and use it as a recovery CD. I used to do all the time on the networks so that I can install everything in one swoop without having to format, installation of Windows, install programs, Windows Update, update the definitions of virus files, etc all over again. M'a saved enormous amounts of time.
I hope this helps ....

You will always need the CD once that something went wrong with your computer. Regards.

and once you reinstall all that the windows of your CD is back in the car. whenever something goes wrong you reinstall Windows and the risk of losing everything.
in general, save partitions and CDs were shipped with the original configuration with their original OS and if you do not view (which I do not like either .. nothing is compatible!) you are a just stuck with the windows cd .. but this is not that bad, as long as you keep burning your important files on CD or something you do regularly lose much stuff ..
try some services such as online storage and you can save your files, then once you reinstall, you can download them all back:)
hope it helps
