Open up the control panel and switch it to "classic view". Open up "folder options" and then "view". Check "show hidden files" UNcheck "hide protected operating system files" Now do a search for "boot.ini" Copy and paste it(the file) to the floppy drive with a blank disk in it. Your done :) Jimi_l

Well, not quite done...
there are four key files that will make a boot floppy for XP.
these four files are located in the root directory of the c: drive. C:\
boot.ini bootsect.dos ntdetect.com ntldr
put these files on a floppy disk, and you can boot your PC - even if the MBR is lost or damaged.
This will even work with a multiboot configuration.
