WinBoot CD containing i386 and files to FDISK and Format

[jm7]

I am trying to create a WINBoot CD containing the i386 folder from the XP
pro CD and files to FDISK and Format.

I have read that you can get the Boot image from the WIN CD but then this
starts and prompts you for DISK 1 of the Install disks.

I was using Nero Burning ROM. If I choose a floppy boot Image then the CD
appears as a small floppy disk so I can't access the i386 files which have
also been burnt into it.

Is there a BOOT image out there emulates a CD size and opens to just DOS so
that I can access the files on the CD?

I hope I am making sense here.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this WINBoot CD? Are you
trying to create an installaion cd of sorts? To use the fdisk and
format utilities you will have to create a DOS boot cd. Windows XP
setup does not use these utilities to do disk work.
