XP bootable cd converted to a bootable CD

G

Gillies

Greetings all,

I am usually working with the XP bootable floppy to restart a dead system.
I would like to convert this floppy into a bootable CD since a dead system
does not have a floppy. How can I do this ?

Thanks in advance

If you have Nero or Easy CD Creator you can use the make bootable CD option
and use the floopy as input.

The boot diskette is a thing of the past, as all legitimate WinXP
installation CDs are already bootable.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
