Boot disk for Windows XP for Linux


Is there anywhere I can find a boot disk for Windows XP, that isn't an executable?

Just download this. It looks like an exec file, but you can unzip it like so :
"unzip xpprobt.exe". You will find an file called "xpprobt.IMA", which you can dd to a floppy like so : "dd if=xpprobt.IMA of=/dev/fd0".
Good luck
