[Guest]

Hi

This question is for any one:
Does all the links mentioned below involve you copying the same system
files
to a formatted floppy disk to create a boot up disk for Windows XP Home
Edition if you have trouble starting Windows XP Home Edition?

Please reply soon.
Much Thanks.

Yes, they all create the disk by copying ntldr, ntdetect.com and a valid
boot.ini file to a floppy disk. The difference in the articles is the
possible source of the files, which can vary depending on whether or not
you have access to a working PC with Windows XP or just the installation
media.
