The boot disks on bootdisk.com are basically the same, however, they load additional
items into memory that can interfere with some BIOS update utilities. Don't remember
what the config.sys and the autoexec.bat looks like on the boot disk but copy paste
the contents of each file, as well as a list of files on the disk into a reply and
I will post back on what to delete so that it is clean. You don't want the CD ROM
drivers loading for instance if the only the floppy is used, or high mem loaded.
You can use the "REM" statement in front of items to disable so that they are ignored.
Have you verified that there is a BIOS update for your machine that will make it
XP compatible first? If so, and there is an update, you will have to follow the
manufacturers, or the motherboard manufacturer instructions to the letter or it will
fail and may leave your machine unuseable..
