This is an interesting thread, however you can build boot floppies for both Windows
2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro. Its six floppies for XP. I don't remember exactly
what you can do with them. I used the XP Pro floppies to install XP on a PC with
SCSI CD ROM that didn't want to be a boot device, very old BIOS. The boot floppies
can be downloaded from a Microsoft site. Don't remenber which site.
