Startup disk

[Francis J. Kasper]

When i had win98, there was a feature to create a startup
disk. Now that i have win xp i cannot find that feature.
Is there a startup disk feature, and how do i find it.

The XP CD is bootable and provides several troubleshooting and disk tools.

Using Windows Explorer, you can still create a bootable floppy. Insert a
floppy. Right click on the A: drive and select Format. One of the choices
from the drop down list is to create a bootable floppy disk. Useful for
flashing BIOS or booting to a command prompt. NOTE: If using NTFS, this
particular bootable floppy disk won't be very helpful for troubleshooting
purposes.
