check out bootdisk.com for all your windows boot disk
needs :)

however, if your BIOS cant boot to a cdrom, i think its
time to upgrade...

I can't boot from a cd. I know in windows 2000 you could
create 4 boot disks from makeboot.exe and start the OS
install that way. Does any such beast exist for XP?
