I am building my g/f's computer here and I plan to install XP on it.
Ummm..I managed to find a single floppy disk to create a startup disk (I
am a CD-R kinda guy) but I need format and fdisk so I can format her
harddrive (ok, no comments please) I looked around my copy of XP and
can't find them. How and where can I go about finding them so I can
finish this thing?

By the way, I am extremely jealous of her system

Mine:
White case
Pioneer 10X DVD (I think)
HP 8200 CD-RW  (4x2x20?)
PII 450
640 MB SDRAM
Adaptec SCSI card
Iomega SCSI zip (never use it; free from a Mac, along with the SCSI
card)
Seagate 7200 rpm 20gig HDD
Western Digital (boo) 5200 rpm 6 gig
Creative SoundBlaster Live! Value
3dfx vodoo 5500 (64MB) AGP
Gigabyte board, I think
USR 56K modem
3com 10/100 
17" SONY Trinitron

Hers:
All black, everything..looks awesome
Lite-On 40X DVD
Lite-on CD-RW (don't remember the speed; fast though)
P4 2.4 Ghz
256 MB DDR
Seagate 7200 rpm 80gig HDD
6 channel on board audio
ATI video AGP, I forget how much memory
ASUS motherboard, Intel chipset with Northwood bridge
V.92 modem
3 com 10/100
NEC AccuSync (I think it's a rebadged SONY)

And much more
This motherboard is awesome..I love ASUS boards..

I just knocked 50 CDRs on the floor :(
