2.3 Creating an MS-DOS boot diskette in Windows XP

1. Insert a blank 1.44 MB HD diskette into the disk drive.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Right-click on the 3½ floppy diskette icon and select "Format".
4. Select the "Create an MS-DOS startup disk" option, click on "Start" and acknowledge the warning message
with "OK".
After creating the startup disk, some of the files must be deleted because of the size of the update.
To do this, all files (hidden system files, etc.) must be visible on the diskette.
In Windows Explorer, go to the "Tools" menu, select "Folder options" and open the "View" tab. Then deselect
the option "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" (enabled by default) and enable the option
"Show hidden files and folders".
