downloading boot up disks for xp pro

[Guest]

I'm trying to download windows xp setup boot disks of microsofts web site. It says that it takes 6 diskets to load all of the information. When i go to create the boot up disks it tells me that there is not enuf space on disk and to install a larger disket. The disks that i am using are blank but its not supost to try and put all of the information on one disk. How do i make it seperate out the information for boot up over the 6 diskets??

any help would be great!

Why are you making life difficult? The XP CD is bootable and contains all
the tools necessary to format and partition your drive (oh Goddess, I'm
turning into Carey!). Just change the boot sequence in the BIOS to allow
booting from the CD and there you go. If you don't know how to change the
boot sequence, suggest you RTFM.

You download the file to your hard drive..when you double click it the
program runs and prompts you insert the floppies.
