I thought I was using the search engine when I submitted this question. ¬_¬
All Windows XP discs are bootable anyway, and it is very unlikely to be worthwhile installing Windows XP on a machine that isn't capable of booting from a CD.
I think you can only use a windowsbootable floppy disc for the system in which it was made from.
Yes.
Memory Diagnostics (mdsched.exe). -------------------------- You are better testing memory outside of your OS. Use a program such as Memtest86 from a bootable medium (such as a floppy, CDRom, or bootable flash drive)
You need some form of boot disk - a floppy of DOS, a Windows boot floppy, a bootable Windows CD, and sometimes Linux can be used to make a plain MS-DOS 16-bit fat) partition.
My Computer, right click on floppy drive-> Format... In the next windows choose Create a MS-DOS startup disk
If your OS is located at C: drive then you will have to use a bootable floppy or CD. After booting from floppy or CD,you can go to command prompt and them type format C: And if your OS is not located at C then you can do that while running windows xp.

After you make the floppy disc a boot drive (beforehand), you can use it to boot your system when you are unable to boot using your harddrive.
You can create a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk, and put on it the utility which is called format.com. After that you boot your PC up from the floppy disk and use format.com to format the partion where windows xp is installed. Before you start you have to make sure that you have a windows xp installtion CD and a serial number for the windows xp. After you have formatted the partion boot up your PC from the installation CD and follow instructions. Better Idea - If Windows XP was installed with NTSF formatting, this idea won't work. You should do "fdisk" from a bootable floppy before you install Win98. This way the installation will properly format the disk for your new installation. Why don't you go back to Windows 2000 instead of 98?? It crashes a lot less often and will run fine on the old cpi. You will still need 128mb memory for either one to run decent.
You mean 'SYS.EXE'? It is used under MS-DOS to make a floppy bootable.
