zappelectric19 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 CPU P4 2.0GHz RAM 512MB OS XP-Pro SP2My 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.

VideoRipper Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Isn't it a lot easier to just take the drive out of the laptop, connect it toa (fully working) desktop-PC and make an image there? Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
