This recipe will explain how to make a copy of your windows xp bootable from cd. This requires a FAT32 Partition! NTFS partitions are not accessible with Win98 Bootdisk
First, you will need your copy of windows xp setup disk, a windows 98se floppy boot disk (go here to get one: http://www.bootdisk.com/ ), a copy of smartdrv.exe, and neroburn 5 or 6 installed.
Creating Bootable Windows XP Setupdisk
1. Copy the contents of your Windows XP Setupdisk to your PC's harddrive, be sure you copy ALL the files. (for our example, we'll copy them to c:\winxpboot\ )
2. Then copy the file: smartdrv.exe to this same folder (c:\winxpboot) (smartdrv.exe can be found with the windows 98 or on the web)
3. Open neroburn.
4. In the wizard or startsmart, go to Create Bootable Disc.
5. Put in the windows 98 boot disk floppy
6. Nero will ask for either the boot image locatoin or to use the Floppy, use the floppy. Then Click NEW.
7. Now go to the C:\winxpboot folder and copy all of the files on the CD project. and then Burn the disk, be sure to finalize the disk too!
Once it finishes, you will have a bootable windows xp disk. When it boots, it will boot up like when you put in the windows 98 floppy disk. Very helpful for installing OS when you don't have a floppy or want to bother with the floppy.

for windows
insert a blank floppy then tick the option create ms dos startup disk.
click start. floppy will be ready. if you want to create bootable cd then in nero there is option to make cd bootable. nero has it own boot files. or you can specify him to take boot files from bootable floppy.
