Is there way to make a full boot disk from XP? The one with FDISK and Format option available like the win98 boot disk ? The XP boot disk is a command disk only. Thanks

To create a bootable floppy from within WindowsXP:
Insert a floppy into the A: drive Open the Explorer Right click on the A: Drive Select Format Check Create an MS-DOS startup disk Click on the Start button This will create a Millennium boot disk
You will need to copy the FDISK.exe and FORMAT.COM files separately.
Not a fully automated solution!

I think you could use 98 bootdisk for XP also. I don't think it really matters. If you want to create a bootdisk for reinstallation of XP, it's not needed since XP could do that itself. But if it's for other purposes then get the 98 bootdisk from Bootdisk.
Hope that helps.
Kevin.
