Windows XP boot disks

[Tom Murphy]

Does anyone know how to create a set of windows xp boot
disks? Windows xp is my operating system but it has
nothing on boot disks. I'm sure the facility is
available, I just cannot access the relevent
information. Any help would be appreciated - before my
system crashes!
Regards,
Tom

Your Windows XP CD-ROM is bootable. You really shouldn't need boot disks,
but Microsoft does provide them

In addition to another poster's reply, there are a couple of points:

The XP CD is bootable, and you can run repair utilities from it. (Change the
boot order in your BIOS settings to boot from the CD drive first.)

If you wish to install XP on a system that can't boot from its CD drive, you
can create a set of (six) setup floppies:
