Hi There  ---
Although I did not need to  have a bootable disk since I have the original 
XP, I thought I would copy that  folder like you said.  But I couldn't find it 
any where... no matter where  I looked - even in Search.  So I got my Original 
CD out and it was on that  CD, yet it never showed up any where in this 
computer.  I copied that 1386  folder, thinking I could make a copy -- stuck a blank 
CD in there, and MS  wouldn't let me copy the folder.  Is there any other way 
I can make a copy  of it since it's not in this computer but only on that CD.

Hello,

If you have the i386 folder on your hard drive you  can create a new 
bootable install CD for Windows XP. Just follow the  directions here:

On his  page he states that the i386 folder must be in the root of your C 
drive, but  on my system I found it in the Windows folder so that may be 
where yours is  too.

I hope this helps you out.

Later, Ray Parrish
