System Boot Disk

[Guest]

I want to make a boot disk to use if the system crashes, but I can't figure out how to do it in Windows XP. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The Windows XP CD itself is bootable and is a Startup Disk.
It has all the necessary tools to repair XP in the event of an
unlikely failure. However, you can make your own bootable
floppy disk if you so desire:

Hi!Eric!
Original XP CDs are bootable.So there is no need to make bootdisks.
If you still need it,visit:-

Hi Erik,

Right-click the floppy in Windows Explorer, choose format. One of the
options is to create boot disk. This will only be useful if you are using
the FAT32 file system, as a dos boot floppy cannot read NTFS. For these
purposes, make the set provided for download here:
