How can I
create the Setup Boot floppies for
Windows XP Pro/Home?
Windows XP
Setup boot disks are available only by
download from Microsoft. The Setup boot
disks are available so that you can run
Setup on computers that do not support a
bootable CD-ROM.
If your
computer does support booting from a
CD-ROM, or if network-based installation
is available, Microsoft recommends that
you use those installations methods
instead.
Future
products will no longer support
installation via the setup boot disks.
Installation of future Microsoft
Operating Systems will require the
ability to boot from the CD or PXE boot
from Network. Setup boot disks that are
provided for Windows XP are provided and
supported on an as is basis.
The
MAKEBOOT or MAKEBT32 tool we used on W2K
isn't here anymore. Use these links to
create the sets. |
