Hi, is there anyway to put a Rescue and Recovery partition after doing a clean install of XP on a Thinkpad T61.
I had to reformat and reinstall XP using my own XP Disc and in the process also had to remove the Rescue and Recovery partition. I had tried doing a recovery from the recovery partition before trying the disc's but that had failed so i just reformatted the entire HDD before using the Resuce Disc's. I had created disc's before but somehow they were not working for me as I kept getting an error saying that it could not find the file "convert.exe."
Finally I just did a clean install but I would like to avoid situations like these again where I have to reinstall XP as it takes a few hours so I want to try and use rescue and recovery with my current clean install to recover. Is that possible or would I have to use a separate program like Ghost or Acronis to do that. I like the idea of having a separate recovery partition with the image because it seems that would be a faster way to recover.
If I just reinstall the Rescue and Recovery software will that create a partition again but with my current install? Thx

You cannot remake an recovery partition, but you can make an image of your windows xp, and restore it if things go wrong.
I use acronis backup and recovery 10, but it`s not free, or you can buy norton ghost.
Or you can use the free Backup & Recovery 2010 Advanced
