The original Win98SE CD-ROM works that way. If you can boot it (i.e. you have a PC that can boot from CDs), then you've got the same tools that would be available on the boot floppy. Otherwise, temporarily add a floppy drive. > Also, once I format hard drive as FAT, can I reconfigure it to NTFS? > (I could be wrong, but I thought WinXP was on NTFS.) Yes, and as far as I've always seen, WinXP uses NTFS by default. > Can I make it dual-boot with Linux if the file system is FAT instead > of NTFS? Don't see why not. Only the boot sector, or boot partition, has to be readable by the BIOS. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
