In nero we get an option of " backing up hard drive ". The thing is that i want to know if i back up my primary partition just after a fresh installation of WinXP , can i use the same dvd to recover my primary partition to th e state of fresh installation ??? like we do in HP recovery n all.
Secondly i cant make a bootable disc of Winxp after i slipstream the WinXP with sp3.

Yes, you can use it as a recovery disc. But in case if even a single bad sector is encountered, nero would fail to create and/or recover your drive. You can use Acronis True Image (Paid) or DriveXML (free) instead. If you have a Seagate/Maxthon hdd, you can search the seagate website for such type of software.
