     This is a nonsensical question. The only reason for downloading the floppy
     disk set is if your motherboard doesn't support booting from a CD (all
     Windows XP CDs are bootable). If your motherboard doesn't support booting
     from a CD, then how is burning them to a CD going to help, exactly?!
