How to create a boot disk for windows xp so I can access ANY xp computer to fix problems?

Answer 1

Do you mean "hack into other people's computers"? You should have no problem accessing an XP computer if you have the owner's permission.

Maybe you didn't explain properly, but that's what it sounds like.

Answer 2

There are a number of different ways to boot Windows XP from a bootable disk. I recommend 2 options. First, you can use BartPE to create a bootable CD of Windows XP. It is very simple to use. Basically, the program creates a bootable CD using Windows XP installation files on your computer. Once completed, you can use the BartPE CD to boot any computer which uses Windows XP operating system. The best part is it is totally free. The second option is to use a live CD. Have you heard about live CD's? Basically, the CD contains an entire Linux based operating system. The idea is to use the CD to boot the computer in to a Linux environment and full access to the hard drive. You can then open, save and copy files. You can connect to the Internet. Pretty much anything you can do in Windows XP, you can do in Linux. And, best of all, it is totally free. There are various variation of Linux. The more popular ones are Knoppix, Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux. You can download each file as an .iso image and then burn it on to a CD. I recommend Knoppix over the other two because it has a very Windows like user interface, which is less intimidating for people who are not familiar with Linux. However, the other two also have pro's. Ubuntu can send you a free CD. Damn Small Linux is only 50MB and can fit on a USB flash drive.
