To make boot disks for XP ??

[myforum]

The making of a repair disk isn't where Win2000 was and how do i make the (4) boot floppies that w2k had and need if I can't get to restore in my C/Pnl.

Thx

The XP CD should be bootable, you just have to leave it in the drive, and make a setting in the BIOS from "boot order: A, C, SCSI" to "CDROM, C, A".

Sorry.. Don't understand the question. Are these typo's?

Well, like my NT4 came with and like yu can make with Win2000 pro........there's (4) floppies one can use to bootup for console type repairs or alot of other things like "fixboot" and etc.
Very handy if the only option yu end up with is access to a floppie drive.

Thats the reason for the question.

I used win98se bootdisk. run "winnt" from xp/i386 dir. when u install it will ask to convert to NTFS, and u done. if you partitioned/formatted, there should be nothing on your disk and the conversion will take like 20 secs

Doesn't exist anymore - AFAIK.

But here's an interesting one - open up "help", and search for "boot disks".

There's some cool stuff in there... like...

try opening up a command prompt and type in "systeminfo".



Wow.

Remember reading somewhere that M$ has left out the images for the boot floppy on the XP CD due to space constraints (not difficult to see why ) The images for the boot floopy will be avaliable for dl at M$ once XP is officially released.
