My laptop's CD-ROM is not working. I wish to do a total system restore using the Recovery CD, as a last ditch effort to revive the CD-ROM, and also because I now have a new laptop, and wish to pass on this older one to my (lucky) wife!
The problem is ... how do I run the recovery CD when the CD-ROM is down??
Can I copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive (I have a crossover cable) and then run this from here? I would guess this may not work, as it will get formatted too! HELP!!
