I set it to boot the cd first...the thing is that @ some point even when i managed to make the winMe cd bootable it asked me to restart after i put the bootdisk first.... Win Xp cd for example does not ask for a bootdisk when u boot from the cd directly......im looking for something like that ,unless there is another way....... i hope there is
