You do not need a boot disk, the Windows XP CD is a bootable disc. Just make sure your boot order is set so your is CD-Rom first.

What kind of diagnostics are you looking for? You can do a system analysis at PC Pitstop without loading anything.

Why is it such a big deal to install diagnostic software? It's not like Sandra takes up that much space.
