I need to reformat a hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows XP. The computer does not have a floppy drive, only a cd drive. I have changed the bios to look to the cd drive first when booting. However, now I can't seem to make a boot disc on a cd. I have tried following the same directions for creating a boot to a floppy, but the option to create boot disk is not there for the CD. Any help is greatly appreciated.
