- Windows XP startup disk
- Posted by Brian Minty on October 2nd, 2005
Win98 had a startup disk, but in Windows XP, can't find any procedure for
creating one.
I saw a response saying something like "copy the WINXP boot sector and
startup files", but how???

Your cd of XP is the start up disk now.

DOS based start-up diskettes can't read NTFS hard drives, so there is not a
great deal of use for them.. as you have already been told, the Win XP CD
doubles as the start-up diskette.. if you are desperate for a boot diskette,
try here

There is no startup disks in XP!. You can boot up from your CD by
inserting it in your Cd drive. Or you could download the bootable files
from here:
