Win XP bootable disc.

you can make boot disks by using the makeboot command in the bootdisk folder on your cd or you can go to
www.bootdisk.com

You can make a DOS bootable floppy from My Computer, floppy drive, and select make bootable.

The XP floppy startup disk is a 6-8 floppy set.

There are seperate downloads from Microsoft for Home and Pro versions.

There are several articles in the TechRepublic archives on creating Bootable CDs.
There are also a few links at www.bootdisk.com on bootable CD techniques.

I would also search through the FAQ section of the maker of your recorder software for their tips.

In order to make a startup disk for Windows XP/2000/NT 4 it is relativly simple. If you are just trying to have an emergency disk in case you accidently delete files that you don't intend to.

1) Format The floppy disk inside the OS
2) Copy Ntldr, Boot.ini, and ntdetect.com to the floppy disk. (these are hidden protected system files in the root directory of your boot drive)
3) Test boot from the floppy.

Hope this helps
