Try This
To create a boot disk for Windows XP for an NTFS or FAT Partition you will
need to have a
formatted floppy. It needs to be blank and virus free. You will also need an
operational
Windows XP-based computer.
First go to Google and search for tformat.zip (Smart Format2.1) and download
the zip file.
Use this program to format your floppy disk, only use one with NO bad
sectors on it.
I would make 2 to 3 disks. These are backups. The reason why you use this
program
because it tells you if you have bad sectors on your disk.
Format your Floppy. This has to be done for this to work in DOS.
Start Run CMD cd c:\ enter then at C:>format a: put in a floppy in
A-Drive press ENTER
If it ask to mount the disk answer Y for yes. When it ask for a label
press ENTER.
After the disk is formatted you will goto START Programs Accessories
Windows Explorer
in Windows Explorer click on Tools Folder Options then the View Tab goto
the folder Hidden Files and Folders Check Show Hidden Files and Folders
and Uncheck Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended) A popup
window
will appear answer YES then OK . Now goto C:\ drive and you will be
able to see
the files that you need to copy to the floppy drive. (Read below for list
of files)
When you are done go back and CKECK the Hide Protected Operating System
Files and press Apply.
And If you want you can uncheck Show Hidden Files and Folders.
Copy needed files (Ntldr, Ntdetect.com, and the boot.ini. Copy them from a
system running Windows XP
as long as it?s not virus infested and/or a Windows XP setup CD-ROM.
C:\Windows\System32 is where the Edit.com file is.
Edit the boot.ini file you copied over to floppy. You will need to set the
path correctly so you will
need to understand the ARC naming convention. You will find what you need to
know using
Microsoft?s documentation.
Start your computer by using the floppy disk, and then log on to Windows XP.
Boot.ini Example: This is how your Boot.ini should look like.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
Default= multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows="Windows XP"
Good Luck

Hello all; I'm new here, but I was hoping someone has a solution to my.
problem...
I was working around behind my computer when I accidentally yanked out
my wireless ethernet card from the USB port in the back of my desktop.
(In case it's important, it's a Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter.)
At that instance, my entire computer clicked off. Odd (and frustrating)
because it's a simply plug-and-play USB peripheral.
Since then, the computer won't start properly in any mode -- normal,
safe, last known working confirguration. It makes it to the logo screen
with the green progress bar, you can hear the processor working, it
loads for about ten seconds on the logo screen, and it restarts
entirely.
I checked, and all of the stuff inside of the computer is attached (I
didn't knock anything loose). I tried disabling the USB ports in the
system BIOS, and I tried starting up with the wireless card attached
again. Nothing I've tried has worked, and the computer keeps restarting
without getting past the first logo screen.
I haven't yet, but I'm ready to go out and buy external casing to pull
all the data off to another computer, at which point I'll wipe the hard
drive clean, but I wanted to know if anybody has any suggestions.
Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
