Is their any difference between the startup disks created in winxp and win98?
Can I use start up disk of win98 to boot winxp and vice versa? |

The startup disk that XP makes is based on WinME. Any startup disk can boot any computer - to an A prompt.
What is the purpose for you making this startup disk? |

If that's the case, use the Ultimate Boot CD instead. It has a bunch of diagnostic utilities on it to help you troubleshoot computer problems.

Exactly. What would be your next step when you boot with the floppy and you are looking at an A prompt? You aren't going anywhere else.
