    I finally downloaded the service pack 3 update that microsoft updates has been bugging me about for a while now. I used to have a recovery partition. but I deleted it on accident lol.

    Is there any way I can make a recovery partition again with xp home, including sp3?

    Is there a way that I can burn my windows xp home edition os, but include the sp3 on the disc to, so when I go to reformat my computer I will have a fresh copy of xp home /w sp3 on it?
