How do I exit in dos in XP

Well, so much for that. I found a thread that said you can use c/a/d so I turned off XP, inserted the disk and turned on pc.

XP said "disk bad". I used c/a/d to exit.

I used a floppy disk that said IBM formatted, so I didn't format the disk. The files were copied successfully to the disk (got a notice). The only thing that occurred while making the disk was I clicked on the .exe file which decompressed the files and when I tried to run the program to the disk, it said MSDos had quit.
So I did it again. This time I got the message
"PKSFX Warning license.txt already exits. overwrite?" I said No. At this point more files were extracted and I put them to disk.

This is the disk I am trying to make. It said somewhere that it works independent of any OS.

I'm trying to find out if my CPU is okay to install SP2.

(I haven't connected my new Dell to the internet yet.)

Libra1,

* Insert a floppy disk into the 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) drive
* Double click the My Computer icon
* Right click the 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) drive
* Left click Format
* Insert a dot next to "Full" or insert a check next to "Create an MS-DOS startup disk"
* If listed, insert a check next to "Copy system files"
* Click Start, when done close all boxes
* Copy the Intel stuff to that diskette
* Click Start- Shutdown- Restart- OK or Click Start- Turn Off Computer- Restart

Hi Chris,
I want to apologize for being so late in responding, it took me awhile to realize I got a response to my question. I ended up connecting the XP to the internet and installed the CPUID on it and ran it. I applied SP2 with no problems.

Thank you very much for giving me the instructions on how to make a start-up disk. I made one and selected "create an ms-dos start up disk". It told me it created it.

I have a question. When the disk was created it said something about FAT. When I brought up the Dell (maybe support) info page it said NTFS. Is the disk good since it said FAT?

Thank you.

Sincerely, Libra
