How can I make a bootable CD? I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop that came
with XP Home Edition. I want XP Pro instead. I tried upgrading but it
failed. I want to try a clean install. I have the retail XP Pro. All I
need is to be able to start the machine in DOS, format the C drive and then
install XP Pro. This laptop does not have a floppy though. The only drive
it has is a DVD/CD drive. I have a Windows 98 boot disk (floppy) and I
tried copying all the files from it to a CD and then tried to boot from that
CD but it did not boot. The only way I have been able to boot from the CD
is to use the restore CD that came with the Laptop but all that won't help
me install XP Pro.
Thanks for any ideas,
