J .Jack Brody Jul 2, 2003 #1 How do I find the dos files such as fdisk.com and format.com on the xp install disk? Thanks, Jack
S sqr [MVP] Jul 2, 2003 #2 You don't as there isn't Dos in XP but it's equivalent in cmd.com 32 bit and command.com 16.bit.

Although there is no DOS in XP, there *is* a format command (but no fdisk command), and you can find it on the XP CD, in compressed form. It's \i386\format.co_ -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup

J .Jack Brody Jul 3, 2003 #4 OK, but now that I have made a boot disk from xp, how to I get the old utilities onto it? Would an old win98 or winme install or upgrade disk have it? Jack
