Boot Disk On Zip Drive

C

Guest
I just purchased an Iomega 100MB USB Zip Drive. I like it. Kinda bought it for the simply fact I hate dealing with all the different boot disks that I use with OSes and fixing others PCs.

I want to make a boot disk mainly for my XP because it requires 6 disks and I HATE having to transfer all 6 disks. When I download the bootdisk file from bootdisk.com and first run it, it asks for the letter of my drive to extract the files, I select G for the Zip drive but the program doesnt continue.

How can I go bout setting up so my zip dish replaces all 6 floppy disks for my xppro installation?

Also bcuz its a usb drive will it still recognize it on boot if i go into my cmos and change boot up drive settings?
 
Why don't you just use the xp cd instead of the six floppies? Much easier.
 
ive never been able to boot from my cd for some reason, so instead of tryin to figure out the prob ive always been using floppy disks to boot from

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
