how do you create a boot-able floppy?

I don't think it is possible to create an XP boot floppy,
but depending on what you are trying to do, you may be
able to make a W98 boot floppy to get to a command
prompt, or you can make a set of 6 XP start up disks.

In either case, look on the microsoft website or do a
search on google for "boot disks" or "boot floppy" - be
sure to scan any floppies you create for viruses on a
working pc before using them on another (don't want to
get infected before you even start!)
 
Actually, you CAN create a bootable floppy for Win XP, but it is a set of
5-6 floppies.(as Adrian implied) Go to www.bootdisk.com and you will find an
assortment of downloadable boot disks of every imaginable flavor, including
both XP Home and Pro. That's a great site to bookmark.
