make a Windows XP start up disk

by vincetheswede . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

Hi Mentors,
Thanks to TechRepublics help I have
a shot at Booting my XP media center
edition by making a start up disk with my XP home edition off my laptop.The directions by Greg Shultz
about the ten things when won’t boot,
say to go to c:drive root directory
and click and copy:Boot.ini,NTLDR,
Ntdetect.com then put this disk in broken desktop and it sounds like it
might work. I tryed yesterday to make the disk and could not find the root directory on c:drve. Is xp home edition have a root directory with the above 3 items I need?
I need to know if xphome will work and how to find the root directory.
I am just learning about computers, eager to learn, and appreciate all your help.
Vince
