Default Boot Disk

I am attempting to make a Cd, which can be used in a FAT 32 HD, neither
computer has an A drive. No success so far. Any hints?

If I make a boot disk using XP pack 2 will I be able to use it on my
other machine that is running ME? I can't boot up the machine that
has ME. I want to try and get it running so I can copy and transfer
some files.


Yes but the boot disk created on XP is so minimal as to be hardly helpful
to
you. It only contains the minimal files to boot to command prompt. Patti

referred you to www.bootdisk.com which will help you get the makings of a
decent Windows Me Startup Disk. However if you have access to a working
computer why not remove the drive from your Windows Me system and
temporarily connect it to the working system as a Slave drive. Then you
can
easily copy your files off of it?
