How to boot a cd without a cdrom?
456525
There is no easy way to do it.\n\nThe only way I can think of would be to create a bootable network floppy disk to give you DOS access to the network, then you can map a drive to another PC and run the windows XP installation from there... Network install. It will work but you'll have to use a full version of XP.

You need to BOOT from your cd - not just use it in windows.  Put it in the drive - then cancel anything that pops up - shutdown your machine leaving the CD in and then restart - watch the screen for the command to press any key to boot from CD - follow the instructions and do a windows REPAIR/REINSTALL - this will replace the missing files.  If you don't get the prompt to boot from CD then you need to go to the bios and enable the CD drive as your primary boot device.

if you don't have a boot disk, you can format it using the CD containing your OS installer (Win XP, 2000, etc.) just set up your laptop's CMOS to boot from CD first before booting to harddisk.

U can use the disc used by installing Windows\nor just go to My Computer, then insert a floppy disc(cannot be done with CD), and right click on A:(Floppy Drive) and click format, then Check the option, make Boot Disk(or something like that) then format.\n\nIf BIOS is configured correctly than it will boot from Floppy/CD

Well there are many steps to this. I have done it once before successfully by using the steps on a link I found on http://www.bootdisk.com\nYou can also visit this site for instructions.\nhttp://old.bink.nu/xpbootcd/

Configure your bios to boot from the CD.  Win98 will boot from the CD so you don't really need a boot disk.  You also have the option of making another Win98 boot disk from another win98 machine and using that.

Go to Bootdisk.com, download a boot disk maker program. Boot the computer with the bootdisk in the floppy drive. Use the command format c:/S  DONE!! If you are using Windows XP, you can put the CD in the drive and reboot to it providing your BIOS is set to Boot to CD drive first, if not you can easily change it. The XP Cd will give you the option to reformat.

If your BIOS does not support boot from CD, then you will have to boot from a floppy that has drivers and support for your CD.  \n\nYou haven't specified which operating system you are trying to install.\n\nA "setup" disk shipped with Windows 95 and Windows 98 will do this job.  Borrow such a floppy if you don't have one. \n\nFor XP, the necessary downloads to make such a floppy is available from Microsoft, see link in "sources".\n\nFor Linux, use rawrite to create a bootable floppy.  See second link in "sources".

you have to change your bios to boot from your CD.  When you computer starts up pay attention to the bottom of your screen.  It should say something like press Del to enter setup or press F2 to enter setup.  Whatever key it says to press, press it when you see those instructions.  Then you have to find the area in your bios that says boot order or boot.ini and go there.  It will probably be set up to boot Floppy, Hard Drive, CDrom.  You have to change the order so that CDrom is the first option.  That means your computer will use your CD to startup and not your floppy or hard drive.  SO, change it to CDrom first and then save your settings.  Restart your computer and it will say Press any key to boot from CD... then press any key.  After that, follow the instructions and your good to go.  \n\nDon't forget to change your bios back to the original Startup order.  Floppy, hard drive, cdrom.  Good luck!

Well.... i didn't understand.... What do you mean.... because we normally Boot From HDD not Cd Rom....... so ofcourse it's Possible..... but i think you're having Problems....... anywayz... To Boot From Hdd... you can \n\n- Either Remove Jumper From Cd Rom ( you need to know basic hardware)\n\n- or Simply go to Bios (press del key while booting) and Set First Boot device hard disk (it's given your harddisk's name there) and to ensure........ make second boot device off!

Make a bootable cd rom and see if it boots on that.\n\nYou can even try a non-Windows OS (gasp!)\n\nLastly you could try to flash the Bios
