No you will not have to disable the anti-virus or firewall to make a boot disk

Hi,
Generaly no. But if you setup a strong policy in your antivirus program which don't let you to create the boot diskette, you can disable temporary the antivirus autoprotect and use a new clean diskette.

You will not have to disable nothing, Only open start/control panel/ add remove programs/startup disk and the button "create disk"

3 people told you, you dont have to
interrupt the Antivirus, but if you still
unable to create a boot-floppy, maybe the antivirus is "guilty".
so try to disable it, for formatting
the floppy, and do not forget to engage it
again.

also possible: in the CMOS-Param's
(you can enter the BIOS, to change them,
when the PC is starting, see your Mainboard - manual)
look if the floppy-access is disabled or not

hope it helps
