Good morning everyone,

 

My second-hand computer (Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop running Win XP Pro [sP3]) did not come with a

backup CD. From what I have read, there are imaging programs like

Acronis & Shadow Protect

which can create an image of everything,

including the operating system onto a CD/DVD or USB flash drive which can then be used to recover the

same computer if it should become

completely unbootable.

 

My question(s): Do imaging programs actually re-install everything, including the

operating system itself? If not, where can I acquire a

LEGITIMATE WIn XP Pro SP3 backup CD to use?

 

 

Thank you for your time and any info!
