Hey,

I was doing some work on my computer an accidentally lost the NTLDR and can no longer start up my computer. I know that I can just pop the XP disk in to repair the NTLDR and everything will be fine, but I am using an XP Upgrade without the bootable functions needed to do that. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a bootable CD rather then useing 6 floppy disks as my computer doesn't have a floppy drive. I will keep looking, but if anyone here has a quick fix for this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Like hmmm says, xp installation cd is a bootable disk.

In case the computer does not recognize the cd-drive, one purpose of the six floppy boot disks is to load a driver to use the cd-drive.
