All my systems right now are Vista, so I can make an XP Boot disc... Can someone make one for me and zip it up and e-mail it to me?

The Vista Boot Disc File Structure looks like this:

Well apparently your email of [email protected] doesn't work. And attachment options on the forums are too clever to bypass, but fortunately I have access to some ftp at uni. Let me know when you have got it so i can take it back down.
