How do I make a startup (boot) disc for WindowsXP? In
Win98 you can go to add/remove programs, in Control Panel
and make a start disc from the tab on that screen, but
it's not there on XP.

The XP CD is bootable and contains all the needed tools to repair.

Hi,
Insert a floppy disk and right click on the floppy drive icon and select
format. In the format disk window, check "Create an MS-DOS startup disk".
