ASR with No Floppy

I am hoping Winclone will work. But, to be safe I did the XP Back-up
Utility and then found out at the end that I needed a floppy.
Are you saying that if I have to do a fresh install of XP (if Winclone
fails) then I can install XP and then Restore with the XP Back-up
Utility AND I DO NOT NEED A FLOPPY?
1. So long as your hardware (BIOS) pemits you to boot
from a CD drive, you can perform INSTAL or RESTORE
without a floppy. (When booting a PC with no Operating
System installed, it does not matter from which drive the
OS comes, so long as it can be enabled.)
2. We would expect a backup routine that includes writing
anything to a floppy is NOT configured to prepare a bootable CD.
