What kind of "boot disk"?

Windows XP can create a DOS boot disk when you format a floppy - you should
see the option to do this if you format the floppy diskette using the
"right-click on the floppy drive and select format" method.


If you need diskettes to help you setup Windows because your computer cannot
boot from CD (IMHO - don't run Windows XP if you cannot do this..), then
check this out:

XP Home Edition:

XP Professional Edition:

You'll need 6 blank floppy diskettes.

But remember - your CD is bootable and has the tools necessary to install XP
on the machine and in most cases, repair a bum install.
