NOD32 v5 - SysRescue and AIK

My laptop is running Win XP Pro SP3. HD is 80gig, partitioned to C, D, E and F (that partitioning was done many years ago - don't ask!)

I was having some AV problems, and (unaware of NOD32 v5 problems with external USB HDs) I upgraded to v5.0.94.0.

I wanted to take advantage of the new feature and create a Rescue CD, but NOD32 tells me that my XP does not have AIK installed. And to install AIK, it looks like I'd need to first run upgrade KB926044.

[added:http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=9085 ]

From what I read on the MS site about installing the AIK (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926044), I can't tell if the AIK is appropriate for my XP.

Can anyone provide accurate information? Is is OK to run the upgrade and install the AIK?

If so, I need a lot more information for guidance... TIA for any help!

If not, then NOD32 should detect my OS as WinXP, and not offer the option.

OK, thanks for the link to the other thread! Looks like all I need is there.
