Read thru that thread there. It will help you create a XP CD.

Did you check to see if there was a recovery disc creator option? Usually in Program Files under "PC Help" or something like that, and it has the word "recovery disc maker" or something similar in the title as well.

Mak's link will also work for what you're trying to do.
