boot discs

[Erik]

Ok, i have a problem. as we all know windows xp doesn't contain fdisk, but that's just what i want, fdisk. my computer has no floppy drive so i was wondering, if i got the contents of a 98 se boot floppy, and burnt it to a cd-r as a .iso would it boot? i want to delete all partitions on my hard drive and then create a new primary dos partition. then install windows. how cna i do this? help is appreciated

Sure as long as your CD was the first device. You may also want to use CD Burning software like Nero, which helps make bootable disks.

i think XP comes with a burning program, just drag and drop into the CD burner

That was a good Question B.

bandage_boy winXP has a all-in-one setup program on the CD. make your cd-rom boot before the hard disk and boot up with the winXP CD.
