double click: my computer, right click on the a drive (with a blank disk
inserted), select format, checkmark the box for create ms-dos boot disk. I
think that is the procedure.

Hi, Jello.

What are you really trying to do? As Chris said, WinXP has a built-in way
to create an MS-DOS boot disk, but that probably won't help with WinXP
problems, especially if you are using NTFS. As Yves said, the WinXP CD-ROM
is bootable and will get you into the Recovery Console, from which you can
fix many basic problems.

But your Subject line says "Virus on boot". Do you have a virus? A boot
sector virus? Do you know the name of the virus?

The more you tell us, the more likely that we can help you do what you want
or need to do. Otherwise, we're trying to read your mind and you've given
us only a few apparently-contradictory clues. Your message and your screen
name remind me of the famous line about "trying to nail Jell-O to a tree".

If you have an XP insdtallation CD, you don't normally need one,
since the CD is bootable.

If you have other needs, please explain here for more help.

This is *not* correct.

First of all, not all XP partitions are NTFS, and if the
partition is FAT32, any Windows 98 or Me boot diskette can access
it without a problem.

And even if the partition is NTFS, there is third-party software,
such as NTFSDOS, which can give you access to an NTFS partition
from DOS.
