Simple question, can an Omnibook 510 boot from an external usb cd drive? I
have this notebook and have no expansion bay and so no floppy or cd drive. I
want to be able to boot from the XP cd and install a fresh install of XP BUT
I am not sure if this model supports booting from a USB external cd drive.
Anyone got experience with this?
TIA
Patrick
