o To create a boot disk for Windows XP:

From the Command Prompt, run FORMAT A:

Copy NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM from the I386 folder to the floppy

Copy BOOT.INI from the C:\ Root to the floppy

BOOT.INI must match the machine’s configuration (e.g. single IDE system drive, SCSI system drive, RAID 0 SATA drives, etc.)

If other than non-RAID IDE drives, the DOS drivers for the drive adapter must be on the floppy as NTBOOTDD.SYS

o To map a shared network printer that is available to DOS applications, create a text file called STARTUP.BAT in the C:\ Root with the command:

NET USE LPT1: \\MachineName\PrinterShareName /YES
