Yeah its stupid....what new equipment still has a floppy drive yet they still require floppy's and I don't know of any bios that will let you boot off a flash drive.

Idiotic as it is not to be able to make a network setup disk, you don't actually need the thing anyway.
If you are talking about the disk that is supposed to be created after you finish the network setup wizard in Windows XP, all it really does is switch the other computers on the network to the same domain or work group. Don't sweat it. Just go ahead and run the network setup wizard on the other computers, and make sure you enter the same domain if you used a domain, or workgroup if you used a work group.
You can also just set this stuff manually by right-clicking on the My Computer icon, choosing properties, selecting the computer name tab, and then clicking the change button. From there you can give each machine a unique name, but the same workgroup. This is really all that disk does anyway.
Good luck.
