My XP is beginning to experience system errors in ways thay may ultimately require me to reformat. I recall my last reinstall entailed a myriad of hoops to leap, in order to use my SATA drives, each in excess of 137GB's, and that I must initially boot from the archaic six floppy startup discs just to get my DVD drive readable, due to the fact my version of XP Pro is Circa SP1.
While I suspect I'll still have to boot from the startup discs, and F6 my way through the early stages, short of slipstreaming everything on a CD,( which I'm convinced is a daunting task in itself),
is there a way I can at least prepare a CD -now while my machine is still rather stable- to avoid the tricky slope of having to install, in sequence, all the crucial, updated system drivers, or a tutorial on how to make such a CD for that specific task?
Perhaps this crosses the fine line, of when purchasing a new OS is truly in order?
