what do you mean by OPERATIONS RECOVERY DISC?

a straight windows install disk will partition and format
(as well as installing windows!!).

what specifically do tou think you want?

is it possible to make an operations system recovery disc for xp home, should i need to re-format as my xp came preloaded.

right ... I see (you want a system recovery or install disk)

either ... you will have a prog on the machine to create recovery disks (if you have a cd/dvd burner or your machine should have come with a set of recovery disks

look for an i386 folder ... or a menu option to create

alternatively you can borrow a disk and activate using the serial number on the sticker underneath your machine

if you have a windows xp home product number on the casing of your pc/ laptop, you could borrow an xp home disc and use your product number/serial key to format and reinstall.
Have a look on the front, sides and back of your pc.
