Vista Boot\BCD issue but no CDROM!

bombidol · 2011-03-17 11:25:47

Hey there, one of my laptops is getting a file: \Boot\BCD error and I need to restore vista from the CD. However, this is where it gets tricky. My CDROM is broken on the laptop so I cant do anything! Is there any way of doing this via a bootable USB key or somesuch? Gar

You can create a bootable USB flash drive, but it's probably easier to use an external (USB) optical drive!
