HELP: no USB, no CDROM, just floppy booting... how to run?

Postby andwan0 » Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:56 pm

Just wondering how one can run this program on a laptop with no USB nor CD-ROM drive but do have floppy disk drive booting.

PXE boot over a network.

This 1996-1998 laptop BIOS doesn't support PXE booting...

So... no usb, no CD, and no network boot. Why are you trying to use this laptop, again?
You might be better off pulling the hard disk and connecting it to another computer to image it.

I expect that it has a Floppy disk. Grab the Curtis Boot Disk and use it to make your NIC have PXE.
