Did you try booting the system withthecdrom and drive in it, and go into your bios settings and set it to boot off CDROM? That is the easiest way I know of installing it on a computer that only has a cdrom drive. -- -Rune Einsteins theory of Relativity mean that no matter what direction you go in life you have a relative that has a theory...
