Hi Harry,

The CD itself is bootable, however you can create dos boot floppy by
right-clicking the A drive and choosing format. One of the options is to
create a boot floppy. Be aware that this is only useful if the drive is in
FAT32, or if you are doing something like flashing the BIOS.

If your system does not support booting from a CD, and you are using NTFS,
you need a different set of boot floppies, see:

Just curious but what if you have a mfrs restore disc and not an XP disc?
Also how do you run SFC since that requires an XP disc?
