I'm trying to make a floppy boot disc for my win XP but i'm not havng any luck.

I format the floppy disc and then click on 'create a boot disc' Everything seems to go fine but when I reboot the pc it says there's a file missing on the disc and it can't boot into dos from it.

Can anyone please help?

the create boot disk does only copy boot files .... you can also do this by sayin "sys c: a:"
you need all the rest of the bootdisk ... just take a boot disk or dl any and copy the file on it ....
there is also a bootdisk set for XP by MS (5disks)

from Microsoft Support (http://support.microsoft.com) you can download XP boot disc, and I belive the downloaded exe will create boot discket as it copies the extracted files to your discket.

A windows 98 Boot disk is still one of best to always have laying around...

Anyway try this site www.bootdisk.com it has plenty of bootdisks you can download in zip form and just unzip onto floppy

When I don't have a boot disk laying around this site will get you going real quick...
