Booting an xp computer from a floppy is no different than any other computer. You will enter the bios and make sure that the floppy is set to first boot device; restart with your boot disk in the drive. If your drive[s] is formatted as ntfs you will not “see” the drive from a dos boot disk.
A better question would be what are you trying to accomplish? Post what you want to do and someone will help you. |
