Hi I hope you can help, I have xp professional sp3 2002 I want to make a back up disc so that i can re format my hard drive but I am having a problem. when I run the automated system recovery wizard it says that it does it in two parts 1 part on the floppy disc for the system settings and the second on another drive for the info off the c drive. I don't have a floppy disc what can i do? I have tried to store everything on an external hd but it won't do it. Thanks David.

Best option is to create a full .iso backup copy with a program such as Acronis True Image. Create the bootable backup recovery CD Save the created .iso backup to external media such as an external hard drive.
