Hi,

My MSDN version of XP pro is now no longer bootable and
need a clean re-install. My problem is that my machine's
bios doesn't seem to support CD booting, and the XP's
setup flopy discs don't support MSDN version of the
software. Boot into Dos? I was told that the CD drive
won't be accessable. So as you see, I am pretty much
stuck. What I think I need is a Dos boot flopy disc that
has the capability of reading CD rom, but I am not sure if
that's possible, or if it's the best way.

Can someone please advise?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Any Win98/WinME boot floppy can provide CD support.
