I am running win xp pro and I think I maid a Boot Disk but I NEED some help?>

I when into my C: drive and copyed Boot.ini file and NTL.dr file and Autodetect.exe and put them onto a floppy.

When I put it into my floppy drive and start my COMPUTER it ticks and ticks and then it bootsup so I think I did it right.

My q/a is I think this would realy be could a system disk right not a boot disk? am I right you can not make a win xp boot disk
What did I make and is this a good disk did I do it right???NTDETECT.COM, BOOT.INI, and NTLDR on a floppy will create a boot disk that might be able to boot a XP installation with a bad or missing startup file, depending on what file is bad or missing.
But honestly that boot disk can't do anything you couldn't do with a XP installation disc.

But the important question here is what do you need a boot disk for? Because a boot disk can be many things.

(And please stop deleting your threads or I'm not going to bother answering any more of your questions. It makes helping you harder and makes it impossible for other people to learn from your questions.)Thank you for getting back to me about the Boot disk.

About Telnet I was able to connect to my e mail.
open incoming.verizon.net 110 this command line did the job.

Now it says connecting and then says OK and something like MESSAGING MULTIPLYER

and when I type LIST it tells me bad command why?
Is list the command for listting all e mails?You will have to log in to your mailbox before you can list any emails.

It includes the Recovery CONSOLE which is the most important tool for getting out of trouble...depending on how extensively you've fubar'd the installation.I have a Win XP PRO with Service Pack 2. C.D. that I used in acomputer I built 2. Years ago.

Now I jut got a computer 1. Year ago with Win XP PRO and Service Pack 2. Pre Loaded on it. Can I use the Win XP PRO C.D. I had from my computer I built befor just to install Win XP Cammand Consale???

The Computer I have now like I just came with Win XP on it and no C.D.
Can I use my Win XP C.D. that I have from my computer that I built just to install Command Consale???According to the info you provided ...yes.
As long as the Versions and installed Service Packs match you can use any matching XP CD.
The CD's are not tied to any machine...the COA is.

BTW installing the RC is an excellent idea and if more people did it on their machines our work here would be much much easier.....
