Making Windows XP Bootable?

[ChaosNightWolf]

I have my copy of Windows XP Pro here, and I just recently got a new system. Unfortunatley. I did'nt order an operating system and the Windows I have here is just an upgrade. Not a bootable version. Is there anyway to make Windows bootable so that I can install it on my new computer. Or am I screwed?

if your computer has a floppy drive you can use the setup floppies

Every Microsoft Windows XP CD is bootable.

If you have an upgrade CD during textmode it will ask you for proof of having an older Microsoft Product:
NT4, 2K, XP home, Win 98, 98SE, ME.

Yeah, I was gonna say, an upgrade CD isn't gonna do much for you without the older OS disks.
