If you just want a DOS (Windows ME actually) boot diskette, then when you
format a floppy diskette, the option is there.


Or you could go here and grab one:
http://www.bootdisk.com/


The Windows CD is bootable and contains a ton of recovery tools.


You can create "setup diskettes" for Windows XP, yes - that will not be
available in the next rendition of the Windows operating system:

XP Professional Edition:

You'll need 6 blank floppy diskettes.


Or you could go as far as creating a "Windows PE" type CD to boot your
system:

Enjoy - hope that fulfills your need.
