Windows Vista Discussion

FDisk hasnt been used since Windows 98. The Windows XP floppies (all 6 of them) dont even have this utility anymore.

I was being stupid in a un-funny way what do you mean by XP floppies? XP has always been on a DVD hasnt it?

XP came on floppies??????????????????????

No it didnt come on floppies but you could make boot up floppies.

How to obtain Windows XP Setup boot disks

This program creates the Setup boot disks for Microsoft Windows XP. To create these disks, you need to provide 6 blank, formatted, high-density disks.

That is where i got the whole 6 floppies thing. It was so you could run the setup from the CD by the means of floppy on older systems. I remember having to do this with some old Windows 98 Machines that couldnt boot from CD drives.
