how to create bootable floppies in windows 2000 and windows xp using command line?

Answer 1

In the old days of DOS, you would type FORMAT /S. The "/S" flag would tell the computer to make the disk a system disk. However, since Windows Me came out, that command flag is no longer supported. You have to go to Add/Remove Programs to make a startup disk. Click on the link for the Microsoft Knowledge Base artlce about this.

Answer 2

To create a Windows 2000 Professional bootable diskette you will need four 1.44MB diskettes and the Windows 2000 Professional CD.

Click Start / Run / browse to the CD-ROM drive.
Open the "BOOTDISK" folder and double-click makeboot.exe and click ok to launch the program to create the diskette.

Users can also easily create an Emergency Repair Disk by clicking Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and opening Backup. From the Backup window, click the button for Emergency Repair Disk and follow each of the steps.
