Will my new comp boot from the XP pro OS cd?

Hello-

I'm aware that I can boot from CD if I change the boot order in the bios, but my question is.... will the XP operating system CD have the necesary boot files right on it to allow it to go into system setup and disk partitioning? Do I have to somehow get my hands on a cd with only boot files?

(I do not have a floppy drive)

Thanks guys

You can boot to the standard ol' Windows XP installation CD. It'll boot you right into Windows setup, and you can partition & format your hard drive as part of the installation process.

Yes, yes you can boot off of a winXP CD.:cool:

Yup, you can boot from the cd. :)

thanks a ton guys = my mind is much more at ease about building and setting up my rig. I'll be sure to let you know how it works out!
