I am going to ask a really dumb queston!
Is this XP home, XP pro, XP Pro corporate?
Why dont you go to
www.bootdisk.com
and down load the boot disk!
What file system are you useing?
FAT 32 or NTFS?
If you FDISK, did you reformat?
if you did reformat, you probaly have a FAT 32!.
Go to bootdisk site and down load the appropiate boot disk,
you will need 6 formated 3 1/2 floppy disk for windows XP
Windows XP uses NTFS file system!
If you have some questons, feel free to e-mail me at
