Setting up Automated System Recovery for Windows XP

A good tutorial on how to make an Automated System Recovery (ASR). ASR provides a framework for saving and recovering the Windows XP operating state, in the event of a catastrophic system or hardware failure. Windows XP ASR recovers the target system in a two-step process.
