As far as I know you cannot and need not make a bootable
programs or boot strings. I am not an expert in this
field, but I am pretty sure about this.

--The XP CD is bootable
--Windows Explorer can create a MS-DOS boot floppy (it's one of the Format
options)
--There's a multiple disk set for running XP setup:

--And a single disk that can be used to boot to the operating system:

You can create an emergency disk that enables you to boot directly to your
desktop via a floppy disk. I use mine quite regularly when i have boot up
problems. The instructions are a little cumbersome however you can access
them from my web site www.freelanceit.glowinternet.com

Very nice page, John. Your method looks like it's the same procedure as the
one described in that last reference in my response. You're right - it is
cumbersome but certainly a godsend if there is no working cdrom drive
available.
