I recently suffered from the dreaded blue screen of death running WIN XP on NTFS. In WIN98 the problem is simple to fix, a single stiffy bootup disk from where you can run a host of functions. Is there anything like that in XP? All I can find is to make 6 startup stiffys that then start to install the whole package.

You have found what it will take to boot XP from floppy,there is not a single floppy version of startup disk for XP. You can check the following site that may have an alternative: www.bootdisk.com
Maybe I'm wrong here, but...., the recovery consol seems to offer a number of functions nothing as basic as a simple copy function or even a DIR. So It looks like I'm left like I'm up the creek without a paddle?????
