can you make a boot disk in XP? or do you have to use a 98 boot disk?

yes

yes you can make boot disc's you need 6 floppies for the set and the set up file is on microsofts site make sure you get the right one there are 2 sets one for PRO and one for HOME

WinXP_EN_PRO_BF.EXE is the name of the PRO set

XP BOOT FLOPPIES

You p.c will not take ten years to run the six floppies,it takes mins and will then ask for windows xp cd-rom.
I foind the files are the same as the ones that the cd load anyway.
If you are not installing on a empty drive ,IE after a format, you could just do a full install from your exesting install and it will give the option to download upgrades for the install beforehand.
Prob better with a format and boot p.c from windows xp cd-rom.
I hace did all varients, and seem the same.
