I have downloaded a file
WinXP_EN_PRO_BF.EXE
Windows XP Pro Startup Disk 310994

This file prepared 6 floppy disks to startup to setup
Win XP Pro SP3. Th�se disks 2-6 appears to contain the
compressed file.
My question is
1. Is it safe to use disk #1 just to bootup the
computer? It would not interfere with the
current setup?
2. Are the disks 2-6 good enough to evive the
system, if not, what other folder and files
needed on the hd?
I am sorry I have no experience of XP setup.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What exactly are you trying to do? Install Windows XP? If so then you do not
need any floppy disks. Just set your BIOS so that it uses the CD drive as
its primary boot device, then boot off your WinXP installation CD and
responds to the prompts.
