I need to make a bootable floppy to install a new BIOS?
How do I do that in XP Home Ed?
Thanks

Hi Theo
With disk in the floppy drive, open Windows Explorer, right click on the icon for the A: drive and select Format>Create an MS-DOS startup disk.

Will that make an independent DOS bootable floppy? Or does that just
make a floppy that can be used to load the NT kernel? In the past with
Windows NT/2000, I had to go to http://www.bootdisk.com/ to get a
bootable floppy image. I don't need that under Windows XP anymore?
Does this Windows XP-generated DOS bootable floppy also include the
config.sys drivers and autoexec.bat commands to load support for the CD
drive so you can use it while under DOS?

No, you'll need to return to www.bootdisk.com.

That creates a DOS diskette. It contains io.sys, msdos.sys, command.com and
is incapable of booting any NT kernel.

What are you using for motherboard?
Usually, the "bios update program" makes a working, bootable floppy by
itself without any interference by the user...
