Floppy diskette to enable booting from external usb CD drive
Last response: in Motherboards
My laptop's CD drive is missing and I can't afford a replacement. The BIOS does not support usb booting.
To install XP, I first load the 6 Microsoft SP2 diskettes which then allow me to install XP from the XP Setup CD in my external usb CD drive.
I would like to be able to restore my C drive partition from an image created using Macrium Reflect. To do this I need to be able to boot BartPE from a CD drive.
How can I make a diskette allowing me to to boot into BartPE, or other utilities, from my external usb CD drive?
Thank you.

What make/model is the laptop, just out of curiosity?
You need to read the instuctions on http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
BartPE requires that you have access to the files on your XP CD.
