| vista64 | Re: Remote Desktop /Formatting Not really - technically, there is boot-from-lan, but that's out of the pervue of what you could reasonably accomplish at home. Your only reasonable solution is to either fix/replace your cd-rom drive, or use an external cd-rom drive. It may be possible to install Vista from a large USB thumb-drive, but that is beyond my ken. Perhaps someone else could walk you through that...? |
