Wussy_Smurf is a n00b, but everyone loves n00bs!
Boot Disk

I know this isn't the correct section of the forum, but I'm not getting a response from the correct section, so here goes. I lost my boot disk for my 9890 and my system needs to be reloaded. I have the USB floppy drive. Can I just create a Windows XP boot disk, download all applicable drivers, and put in my recovery disk and load XP or do I need additional stuff on the boot disk?

Thanks,
frank

You cannot do a full install using a floppy XP boot disc.

What you can do is try to repair your current XP install.
