FDISK - where in XP?

Greetings --

FDisk is an old MS-DOS utility that is not available in WinXP.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

I am not installing WinXP. I have a running WinXP which
I'm attempting to use to copy its image to another HD.
