    First, with Windows XP, do I need to have a startup disc "just in case "?
    If so, how do I go about doing this? WindowsXP, unlike Windows 98 doesn't have this listed in Add/delete window in control panel

    It's a good idea to keep around a win98 or winme SUD. Allows you to do DOS functions like fdisk.

    If you don't have one left over, go to bootdisk.com and download one.

    See MS KB article 314079

    Basically copy :

    Boot.ini
    NTLDR
    NTdetect.com

    to a floppy.
