Boot Floppy utility
« on: February 13, 2003, 02:45:18 PM »
Need to make a bootable floppy?  Hope you have Win98 or below!

Not true anymore.  I found an old tip that I had recieved a while back, that pointed me to http://www.fdos.org.  Now it doesn't matter that you have XP, 2K, NT, or Me.  Now you can make a disk on the fly!   Well worth looking into!

Nope!!!  You can't fit the needed files on the disk with the XP files.  Try it yourself.
