even if you could make a bootable floppy it would most likely do you no good - all you could do with it is boot to a DOS prompt, and DOS can't read or write to NTFS (Windows XP) partitions. That means any DOS-based utility wouldn't work. The chkdsk supplied with XP is console-based, using DOS emulation. You can access this by booting from any XP CD (can you borrow one?) and pressing 'R' when prompted, to run the recovery/repair console. This allows you to run the XP version of checkdisk.
