Microsoft makes the following ominous warning: ‘Future products will no longer support installation by the setup boot disks. Installation of future Microsoft Operating Systems will need the ability to boot from the CD or PXE boot from Network’.
This download package lets you generate a setup boot disk for Windows XP Home Edition (but not Windows XP Professional). If your PC does not support booting from a CD, or you prefer to make use of a floppy disk, this package will enable you to automatically load the correct drivers to gain access to the CD-ROM drive and start a brand new installation of XP. As noted above, you can use any recent version of Windows to generate the boot disks and you will need two floppy disks in total.
