I have a Presario 906US laptop with an external CD drive because the internal does not work. I have to fix some issues 3 and I have to boot from the XP installlation disk. It appears my laptop cannot boot from a usb device. Does anyone have instructions on how I can do this with the set up I have? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
