Sometime back I had talked about Recovery Partition and why it is a must and you should never delete it. Just like recovery partition, you should also create a recovery CD for your system in case something crashes and you are required to do the install again in recovery mode. Having a recovery CD can save loads of time and tons of important data and moreover, making a recovery CD is not a big deal and you can do it yourself by following steps below for Windows Vista.

How to Make Recovery CD

[1] Insert a blank CD in your CD/ DVD writer
[2] Now go to Start Menu -> Control Panel
[3] Next, open System Maintenance and open Backup Your Computer

[4] Now select Backup Your Computer from the Backup and Restore Menu and select your CD drive as destination from the drop down list and click next.
[5] Now you can easily backup all your important data through an easy wizard.

Also if you are using Windows XP then you can follow steps mentioned below …
[1] Go to Start Menu - > Program -> Accessories -> Backup
[2] By default the Backup process will start in wizard mode, and you can change it by un-checking the “Always start in wizard mode”.
[3] Now after clicking next, select the “Backup files and settings” option and click next.
[4] Next, the wizard will ask you to choose what you need to backup, you can choose yourself or choose “All information on this computer”.

[5] Now just select a location to create the backup file (bck file) with all backup.
[6] Next, simply write this BCK file on a blank CD.
