XP doesn't use a boot disk. Boot from the CD. If you want to make a MS dos start disk, right click the floppy drive and select it there.

No, when XP is running then you can make a dos disk from My computer/right click the floppy. Only boot to the XP cd to do the repair.

If you have the CDROM set as the first boot device, in your Bios, your computer should boot from the XP CD.
