Hi
I just got the XP Pro after installed, I just realize I can't create a boot
disk to do the FDISK, Can some one help me, tell me where and how to create
a Boot Disk.

Thank you

Well, you can go to My Computer, select the floppy, go to File--->Format--->
and check the box labeled 'create an MS-DOS startup disk'...

But that is really crazy talk....

Wait.

Why do you want to 'do the FDISK' ???

Use Disk Management to partition drives...

The Windows XP installation CD is bootable.
You must set boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first.
