How do I do a clean Install from a USB optical drive?
Trying to fix a friend's computer. She needed it yesterday but I didn't start till late and ran into a problem.
We decided to just do a clean format and re-install. Computer won't book off the Windows CD.
I booted using the 6 floppy boot disk set. Booted fine - reformatted HD - started to install windows from CD but internal optical drive still can't read half the files.
Obviously the internal optical drive is shot. I have an extra external USB DVD-burner so I gave it to her. Now I just need floppy boot disks which will allow me to install windows from a USB drive. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
