I have a half dozen computers all with different operating systems on them. Along with those computers I have a box of disk for each OS, Drivers, Tools and the famous Boot Disk.
With the change in the way Windows boots in 2000/XP the backup floppy Boot disk has been forgotten. I thought about this the other day and went searching I found a great article on it at PCWorld. I highly recommend that you wipe the dust off your floppy disk case and pull a couple out and follow there instructions. May save you some serious cash and save your data when eventually windows fails to boot. [PCWorld]
