Re: Files for recoverydisk could not be created. Operation aborted

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



If you read the MSKB article, ASR *can* function in XP Home :

CAUSE
This behavior can occur because ASR is not supported in Windows XP Home Edition. However,
***Windows XP Home Edition users can access the ASR Wizard if they install the Ntbackup
program from the Valueadd folder on the Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM.****

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, access the Automated System Restore Wizard:
1. Install Backup Utility for Windows on the Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM.
Follow these steps to install Backup Utility for Windows:
a. Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file in the following location on the Windows XP Home
Edition CD:
CD-ROM Drive:\Valueadd\MSFT\Ntbackup
b. When the installation wizard is complete, click Finish.
2. Click Start and, then click All Programs.
3. Point to Accessories, point to System Tools and then click Backup on the All Programs menu.
4. Click the Advanced Mode link on the first screen of the Backup and Restore Wizard.
5. On the Backup Utility dialog box, click the Automated System Recovery Wizard button.

Got it, Grace ?
