Set your BIOS to boot from CD and boot from the XP CD... no need for a boot disk.

The XP CD is designed to boot, and start the installation. It's by far easier than the old (95/98) way of using a startup diskette etc.
Most mfg bios' are now set to boot from CD first as default. You can easily check first though. |
