Does anyone have these still? Circumstances have conspired against me and I need them, I had them at one time but now can not find the disks. I followed the LINKS on the Microsoft support pages, but they are misleading. The page says XP setup disks, but when downloaded it only creates the 4 W2K disks. If you have someplace that has them for downloading please let me know. Or maybe just send them to me at attached folders?

Whatever is easier.

Thankshttp://www.bootdisk.com/

This should be of some help to you.Bootdisks for the Pro and Home versions respectively.

Just download the set that matches your version and service pack.
Deerpark, the link you provided is exactly the one that I followed and it only gave me the setup disks for windows 2000. Even though it says windows xp, once the program is downloaded it will create only the windows 200 disks. It even says Windows 2000 once it starts.

Guardian, I have looked at bootdisk.com and unfortunately the link on that site dealing with the 6 XP startup disks leads right to the page that Deerpark provided, and which I found. The same one that is mislabeled as having xp disks but only creates Win2k.

Thanks for the responses, does anyone have the actual disks or know of a site that is not on bootdisk or the windows support pages that has them for download?

I have just tested the set for XP Pro SP2 in VMware and they work as expected.
And I got 6 disks.I know I am not NUTS, this is the what I downloaded from Microsoft:

WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Pro-BootDisk-ENU

and when opened I got Windows 2000 and 4 disks.

What did you download, what did you do differently?

Could the program depend on the version of windows currently RUNNING on the computer it is opened on?

[recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]That is strange indeed.
I downloaded WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Pro-BootDisk-ENU.exe as well (size 4,39 MB).
And I get this:


I've uploaded the file I downloaded to File Dropper.
http://www.filedropper.com/windowsxp-kb310994-sp2-pro-bootdisk-enu

The file is to the best of my knowledge malware free, but as always download at your own risk.THANK YOU! Don't know why yours was different from mine, but I downloaded it, ran it, ignored the error message that came up and am now making the 6 disks.

That is just too strange.
I didn't do ANYTHING out of the ordinary to get the file. Just clicked the link and hit download.

But great to hear my download worked for you.I think that the program scans what version you have loaded on your machine and provides the floppies for that. I downloaded your file to a Windows 2000 machine and when started it looked like it would create the 6 floppies (cd1, cd2 etc.) but when done I got the Windows 2000 creation window from before.

When I downloaded to an XP machine it all worked and I got 6 disks.

Go FIGURE.
