I'm attempting some repair with XP pro disk I bought from Amazon used.
On first boot, after initial inspection it asked if I want to perform
an `automated recover' press F2.

When I do I get a screen telling me to insert a floppy labeled
`Automated Revovery Disk'

I didn't get such a disk as part of my purchase and wondered if this
may be available for download on line?

Sorry please disregard... I noticed the automated recover disk is
something one creates themselves inside windows xp.
 
The Automated System Recovery floppy disk is specific to your PC. It has the specific drivers and system information for your particular
PC. It is created by going into the Start ->Programs->Accessories->System Tools ->Backup

You obviously cannot download it from anywhere as it is created by each PC individually.
