    Post XP Start Up Discs

    I see that you can download files to make a set of Start Up Discs for XP. It takes 6 Floppys. Am I right in thinking that these could then be put onto a CD using a CD/R, and if so, is there any point in doing it?

    I just realised that my posting might mislead. I know that the Discs only give access to the CDRom, and that the WinXP disc should be bootable in any case, provided that the computer is capable of booting to the CDRom. However, when I try to do that using the XP Disc, I always get the same message - Stop 0x0000221. I have looked this error message up, and it tells me that there is a corrupt driver, even though I always format first before trying to install. I thought that the Start Up Discs might get around this.
