    I like the recovery partition on my TZ. Even though it uses up 8gb its nice to know Ill never have to carry around restore disks. My question is this; Is there a way to make a recovery partition to restore a windows xp installation? I like xp more than vista and that would be a great addition :) TIA!

    It's not possible. Why do you want to go back in time? Stick with vista.

    you can create a separate partition and put a ghost image in it. I guess that's the closest you can get to a recovery partition.
