Using the Win2K instructions (http://www.bink.nu/bootcd/) as a guide, you can even slipstream XP's Service Pack 1 into your bootable CD.

Re:Do you mean the boot floppy like what you can create off of Windows 9x through the Add/Remove pane? Because you can do this in XP (just not through that method). I just don't want to post info that doesn't pertain since I'm not positive that's what you're looking for.

Re:As guy says, you must download the six boot floppies; they don't ship on the XP CD.
Or, as guy says, you can create a Win9x boot floppy with CD ROM realmode drivers and install that way.
Personally, I'd go back to the department that gave you the CD and get them to create a bootable one.

Re:Unless it's an OEM if that CD isn't bootable then it isn't a legit copy.
You can get the SIX boot floppies directly from Microsoft here (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q310994)
