This is off topic, but I have to wipe my hard drive clean today. Can I use a cd as in effect a "boot cd" so that when my computer is restarted it boots the program off the cd and then formats the computer . I have a laptop so I am having trouble getting over not being able to boot from a floppy. Any help would be highly apreciated. Also can I boot my cd to dos on a laptop running xp ? If so how ?
