    Howya,
    In a bit of a situation here. A laptop just came in (portege r100), ickle slim thing with no dvd/cd or floppy built in. It needs an XP recovery done on it and I tried plugging in a USB DVD drive, but it wont let me boot from it. Apparently the only plug in CD/DVD drive these feckers can boot from is a €300 PCMCIA drive that tosh does. Feck that.
    Any suggestions on how I can wipe this bad boy and get XP back on it????
