Of course you can boot XP or W2k from a floppy. The thing is that u need 5 floppies for w2k, and 6 for XP. The u need to download "boot-disc-creationkit" for your w3k / XP from microsoft site. I done it, so I know it works. Next thing, You can also boot with a win98 disc, but you need to download a little niffty program called "ntfsdos" from sysinternals.com and put it on your "win98"-bootdisc. Slow but works execellent.

But none of those are booting "into" Windows XP or W2K. You are simply booting to 
DOS, and accessing the file system. Besides that, what in the world was the point 
of your incorrect post?
