hypnosis75 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Hi all, i have here at the min a dell sx260 usff pc that had a faulty hard drive, the hard drive has now been replaced with a new one which solved the original issue BUT the machine has NO CD ROM DRIVE so how do i re-install windows xp on it?? Ive tried a friends external usb cd drive but the bios doesnt offer the option to boot from usb device. Unfortunatly the machine doesnt take normal laptop drives and ive looked on ebay but cd drives start at about 30 for this model. How do i sort it?? Thanks in advance Quote
