Re: How intsall Win 98SE/2K without a floppy or bootable drive?

In message <1119902863.441146.185760@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, b_deshi <b_deshi@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes 
I have a NEC Versa Note P11 300mhz with 64MB Ram, 6gig HD, CD ROM,
which does not boot from any bootable discs, the floppy is dead. I have
win 98se and Windows 2000pro, but no luck. BIOS is set to boot from CD
Rom first but I'm having no luck.

Can anyone suggest if I can boot from the hard drive some how as I have
windows 2000 installed already on the system. I want to do a fresh
install.
Is it FAT32 or NTFS? 

I also have a USB HD and an external cd rom via the PCMCIA card.

Many thanks

deshi

Do you have a network card?
