Could someone please tell me how I can make a STARTUP DISK
that will then provide access to my CD drive so I can
reinstall Windows from the original Window XP CD if and
when my computer crashes and I no longer have access to
Windows? All previous versions of Windows provided for
making such a startup disk for recovery in case windows
does not start.

Thank you for any help,
Mauri

PS I could not find any help on this topic at the
Microsoft site.
 
The Windows XP installation CD is also a "startup disk"
and contains the tools necessary to perform repairs.

The XP CD may have been a setup Disk, but it does not always work. I use a Windows 98 Bootdisk for some things: fdisk, format, etc.
