Check the check-box beside “Show hidden files and folders”. Uncheck the check-boxes beside “Hide extensions for known file types” and “Hide protected operating system files”. 4. Go to the Windows direc6tory on the drive that has Windows XP on it. It is usualy the C; drive. 5. Find the 3 files- Boot.ini, Ntldr, and Ntdetect.com 6. Copy and paste those 3 files to the formatted floppy disk. 7. Also see if you can locate 2 more files- Bootsec.dos and Ntbootdd.sys 8.
