I am just wondering if xp will enable you to do the same as you could in
win98 os which is go to command prompt and type sys e: E being my
external
hard drive that has an fat32 partition. however xp does not support sys
command. What i am trying to achieve is my external drive has ghost and
some
ghost images on and i need to clone some machines but only have an xp
laptop
avaliable at present . Question is how to use xp to make ext drive
bootable
to run ghost.

You could try the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool:

You need a bootable floppy which the tool can grab
the DOS boot files from.
