Surely you have a friend who still owns a Windows 98 machine. Ask 
them to make you a startup disk (phooey on any licensing violations, 
Mr. Gates, it's only a startup disk ;->): Start | Settings | Control 
Panel | Add/Remove Programs | StartUp Disk tab | Create Disk

With this disk, restart your XP machine.

At the prompt: Type C: and press ENTER.

Remove startup disk and replace with your DD disks. At the Prompt, 
type: Format A: /F:720 and press ENTER

Another, more involved method involves making a disk image with 
WinImage from bootdisk.com, but I think you said you were relative 
newbie, so forget that (unless the above doesn't work).
