I need a boot disk. My hard drive is about to crash.

The instructions to make a boot disk assume I have a floppy drive.
When I choose the Format for my CDRW drive it does not have an option
for making an MSDOS Startup Disk.

What can I do???
Start up with your windowsXP cd in the cd-rom drve and boot thro' it.
It will give you all the necessary instructions from there on.
