If you just want a DOS (Windows ME actually) boot diskette, then when you
format a floppy diskette, the option is there.


Or you could go here and grab one:
http://www.bootdisk.com/


The Windows CD is bootable and contains a ton of recovery tools.


You can create "setup diskettes" for Windows XP, yes - that will not be
available in the next rendition of the Windows operating system:

XP Professional Edition:

You'll need 6 blank floppy diskettes.


Or you could go as far as creating a "Windows PE" type CD to boot your
system:

Enjoy - hope that fulfills your need.

Apparently you neglected to look in the "Windows XP Help and Support"

( start, then click on help and support (right off the "START button))



To create an MS-DOS startup disk

The MS-DOS startup disk you create will allow you to boot into MS-DOS.

1.. Insert a floppy disk into your computer's floppy drive.
2.. Open My Computer, and then click the floppy disk drive to select it.
3.. On the File menu, point to the name of the floppy drive, and then
click Format.
4.. Under Format options, click Create an MS-DOS startup disk.
5.. Click Start.
Important

a.. Creating an MS-DOS startup disk erases all information on the floppy
disk.
Notes

a.. To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
b.. The MS-DOS startup disk only allows the system to boot into an MS-DOS
prompt. The disk contains no additional tools.
