PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
It sounds like your boot disk doesn't have CD-ROM drivers. Go to
www.bootdisk.com and make a new boot disk (all their boot disks include CD-ROM drivers). Make sure you select the Windows version you are installing. George "Maz" wrote in message ...

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
First off you would need a boot disk with CD support as suggested by George.
Secondly, you may be creating a big headache by loading another OS on a laptop. Most of your problems may/will stem from the proprietary setup of the laptop and hardware. -- Brian A.
