xp boot disk?

[Guest]

I had XP corruption somehow and the PC would not boot.
I took it to technicians who did a XP repair and said that you cannot make a
boot disk for XP.

Is that true?. is there a way to boot the PC into XP from a CD disk?

Reinstall or repair from a CD, yes. just boot, no.

The XP CD is bootable and gives you access to the Recovery Console which can
prove marginally useful when repairing a non booting system. You might also
want to check here

FirstDefense from Raxco http://www.raxco.com/products/fdisr/ is another
excellent resource

Actually you can, but the problem is what do you do with it?

In the hands of some one that understands the tool, that kind of tool is
rather useful. However if I hand you a tape with TOS on it, would you know
what to do with it?
