Dos utilities in XP

[.Jack Brody]

How do I find the dos files such as fdisk.com and format.com on the xp
install disk?

Thanks,

You don't as there isn't Dos in XP but it's equivalent in cmd.com 32 bit
and command.com 16.bit.

Although there is no DOS in XP, there *is* a format command (but
no fdisk command), and you can find it on the XP CD, in
compressed form. It's \i386\format.co_

OK, but now that I have made a boot disk from xp, how to I get the old
utilities onto it?
Would an old win98 or winme install or upgrade disk have it?
