I'm trying to create a windows xp bootable cd. My goal is to be able to re-partition an existing drive and re-install windows on it..

Heres the problem..

I have copies I made of my original XP cd, but for whatever reason they are not bootable.
I went to bootdisk.com and made downloaded the disk but it wasnt quite what I wanted... It brought me to a dos prompt..Which would normally be ok but when I give the setup command I get the error "This process cannot be run in DOS."

So. If anyone knows how to

1.Setup xp in DOS
2. Create a bootcd that would actually allow me to accomplish my task

I would be greatly appreciative.
