How to create a boot disk
- Download the appropriate boot disk for the operating system you are trying to repair. Save this file to your desktop.
- Once downloaded, double click on the .exe file you saved to your desktop
- Click OK to the Thank You message
- You are now prompted to insert a floppy disk. This will become the boot disk. If the disk is not empty you will be alerted, and all data on that floppy will be removed and replaced. Click OK
- Once the disk creation process begins you will see a progress indicator. When the progress bar reaches 100% the disk is complete and can be used.
Common Errors
- If the floppy you are trying to use is no longer good you will be presented this message. You will have to use another floppy disk in order to complete the process.
- If you have any explorer windows open (My Computer, A:, Windows Explorer) the disk creation can not take place. Please close all My Computer windows and try again
Re: How to create a boot disk
I am looking for a website where I can download an ISO image of Windows XP. Not floppy disks, just an ISO image to burn to a CD-ROM. I want this so that I can create an Ultimate Boot CD (http://www.ubcd4win.com) because I lost my personal XP CD. Know of anywhere I can download one?
Re: How to create a boot disk
There is only one site where you can get it:
microsoft.com; but, only after paying the $$$$
Re: How to create a boot disk
www.isohunt.com
here you can download any o/s with or without iso image .
First you have to download UTORRENT and your internet speed should be greater than 256 kbps and not to be dialup
Re: How to create a boot disk
Psycho!
Re: How to create a boot disk
you're retarded... isohunt.com and utorrent are both very legal resources. Using them to download or giving people instructions how to download illegally obtained information and source code is most certainly against the law, but it seems to me that the previous poster only suggest downloading utorrent. So, I see no grounds for deleting his post, quit overreacting to every little thing.
Re: How to create a boot disk
Bull, the prices are so high thats why you get bootlegs!
Re: How to create a boot disk
operating systems iso's as far as I know ( with exception to recovery media) do not include a genuine os licence or OEM Sticker.You will need both to have a legal copy of any Microsoft product.Having said that, the bread and butter of my business is seriously infected and comprimized computers as a direct result of peer to peer file sharing.Its hilarious,people think they get a bargain by downloading $60 worth of free mp3's and such,then turn around and pay me $120 worth of repair.

please tell me to create a boot disk with proper steps
Re: How to create a boot disk
I think i'ts rather easy because you can copy a Win XP CD from anybody as long as you have your own product number physical on your PC or Laptop.
Try Peer to Peer networks

Re: LEAH
@leah
i have had the same problem i know what it is make sure you hard drive is selected to boot goto the bios setup screen
the reason why i got it is because i was trying to swap the motherboard into a different box but it didnt fit *SIGH* lol anyway it disconnected the hdd cd floppy (etc) and the screen showed up after i put it all back together at the time i didnt know this but i thought i lost all my files nothing important so i reinstalled windows and i did the same thing again but my xp cd broke a few weeks before so i was looking in my bios changing stuff i didnt care if i broke it completely because i was so pissed off at the time and i looked in the boot section and the hdd wasnt selected and obviously i selected it and it worked try it or if that fails try reseting the defalut settings sometimes the default is not the best you may still need to fiddle about sorry about the story i doubt you really care lol anyway just try it

Unfortunately I do not sell actual copies of and Windows operating system. I would take a look on eBay to see if something shows up there.
