    Windows Mobile Version 5.

    I don't know if a recovery disk can be created from the installed software, a lengthy Google search might give the answer.

    And you may want to contact the manufacturer...

    Actually, most of those don't have a backup CD, but have a factory restore function. Triggering it depends on the device, but usually involves holding a certain key combination and pressing the reset button. Check your manual and see what it says.

    -=EDIT=-
    Reset instructions for a Mio 550:

    See the 'hard reset' function.
    Warning: You will lose ALL data on the device and it will be returned to it's default factory state (as if you just took it out of the box).

      Like I told the original poster, most Windows Mobile devices don't come with recovery discs. Check you manual and find the hard reset procedure. If you don't have the manual, search for instructions online for your specific model.
