It may seem a stupid question but do you need a system disk that corresponds to the operating system you plan to install? If so please could you tell me how create a Windows XP system disk? Thanks a lot. Kartman1807
If you are trying to do a fresh install of XP, all you need to do is boot from the CD.

Sure you can make system disks for xp but it's much easier to just pop in the CD.

No, coz you need the CD anyway to install If the drive broke you gotta replace it. . . simple as that ..
