I have no floppy disk drive. I have looked for hours and cannot find the files necessary to download to create a DOS startup USB pen. I cannot use my own since they are infected with a virus and I need to repair my MBR. Please somebody help, I am completely at a loss as to know why every boot-disk creator requires you to have a floppy drive. Thanks for any help

They do have a virtual floppy either for xp or vista that many people use.

As above everyone has made cd's and usb images that might be loaded on usb's.

What virus do you have in MBR?

Why not replace the mbr using the xp disk?

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, Make an autorun.inf folder on all usb drives.
