Does anyone know how to make a emergency repair disk on Windows XP? It seems like you need to backup the entire pc to do this. Is there anyway around that to just make a disk

No, you don't need to do a backup, but you access the ERD creation menu through the Backup & Restore tool. Here's a tutorial:

Be sure to remove any embedded spaces in that URL when you paste it).

That doesn't seem to work out too well. XP has the Automated System Recovery wizard in backup not an ERD option. The Automated System Recovery wizard seems to want you to make a backup AND a ERD. Is there anyway to separte the two.
