reformatting my old laptop....

[0rion]

ok, I officially give up. I'm just trying to do a clean reinstall of windows and it has the removable cd drive and floppy drive. I can't use both at the same time. How the hell do I make a boot disk? I tried dl'ing one but couldn't get it to work, I forget the error though. Any ideas?
I just wanna wipe the drive so I can sell it.

Can you just boot to the CD?

What brand is your laptop, typically when your first booting it up you can get in to the bios and change it to load from CD or secondary hardrive (if the recovering partition is there, MAKE SURE YOU DONT DELETE THAT!!!!)

Typically you'll strike the F2 key or Delete Key upon initial boot (post)
