Piracy is illegal.
You don't need a boot disk to install XP, so long as you can boot off of your CD-ROM.

whoever said anything about piracy? I normally make backup copies of my important disks (especially o/s's) in case something happens to the original. I hardly find this illegal, as i am the only one using the disks. Although he may or may not be using a legal copy, he may be using it as a trial to judge if he were to purchase a retail copy of this product. basing off the troubles he's having to clean install this o/s.....i'm guessing not

just a ? for you. Assuming that XP is based off of windows 2000, Do you think its possible for our friend to use the 2000 boot disks, but the xp cd to get the results he is looking for? Just a thought.
I personally haven't tried it, i hate to wipe my machine once a month instead of once every 2 d;x

I found a way to make the cd bootable. Making bootable floppies i saw, but was not interested. The method i saw did work on the cd i had. Let me know if you need help doing it.

Nope. You can't even boot a slipstreamed 2k CD wth the original boot disks. I had to write a script that compiled the files off of the CD onto floppies. So I made a disk set for each SP level of my 2k CD's (NOSP,SP1,SP2). The script should work fine for XP but I have not tried it.

If you have lost your Windows XP CD or it is damaged, Microsoft has boot disk creator programs that you can use to create a 6-disk set. The boot is VERY slow, but it works.
You will need a floppy drive, of course, and 6 floppy disks. You can search Microsoft's support site to find them.
I noticed someone posted links to the download pages above, but the links are dead, hence my post here. They are pretty simple to use, . but if you need help feel free to ask me
