    You are making this a LOT more complicated than it has to be. Can your PC boot from it's CD? If not, why not? If the CDROM drive is bad, get anothere, at least for the install. Set the computer to boot from CDROM first in the BIOS, insert the CD and restart the machine.

    It's that simple.

    Corsair Twin 2x 2048 - 8500c5ram (800mhz) - 3000 Rs.
    NZXT Zero Cabinet - 7500 Rs.
    Pentium Quad Core Q9300 Lga 775 Cpu - 12500 Rs.

    Expect lots of pain!

    Can you boot from a floppy drive? Are you able to put your laptop's hard drive into another laptop (just to copy Windows files onto it)?

    BartPE provides some extremely sophisticated possibilities, but as I said before, expect pain!

    If you can access floppy drives, you could try a Linux install instead.
