Start-up Disk for XP

For what reason? The XP system CD is bootable.

It depends on the format of your HDD as to it even being readable if you use a normal Windows 98 type startup disk, as NTFS is not readable by DOS.

Otherwise:

Put a disk in your floppy drive.
Go to My computer, and right click on A:/.
Click on format, and then at the bottom, click Make Boot Disk. Click Format.

However you can't really do a lot from booting XP via the floppy.

Here ya're, go to the bottom and pick your version of XP.

It needs to be copied across 6 different floppies.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Thanks again,
