ok, well place a blank floppy in your floppy drive, go to windows explorer and select the drive. Right click the drive letter and select format, at the bottom of the next screen is an option to creat a start up disk, select it and make the disk.

it kept telling me when i typed format c:\ bad command or file name

and the xp cd i got says operating system

"already installed onthe comp"

this software is already on your comp
only use thiw cd to reinstall the OS on a dell comp

then it says

this cd is not for reinstallation od programs or drivers.
