How to create a boot disk

This is quite simple.
1: Go into MY COMPUTER
2: Have a floppy disk in your drive and then RIGHT click on on the floppy drive and then click on FORMAT
3: You will be greeted with a number of options. The one you need to select is "Create an MS-DOS start up disk".
4: Click ok



Note: This requires up to 5 floppy disks and DOES NOT
contain ANY CD-ROM drivers to boot from. A proper CD-ROM
boot up disk is going to be release by Microsoft after
the Windows XP public release. You can however use you
old Windows Me start-up disk if you would prefer, as
long as you have not upgraded to an NTFS drive.
