Hmm, well, my home made PCs can boot off CD-Rom/DVD. This includes my
lowly dual pentium III server computer, bought and built by me in 1998.
But, what you can do when you boot, that is a different matter. You
can't really do anything useful with the Windows XP CD. Perhaps the
emergency disk helps? But I think when one runs Windows, you pray to God
that you never have to go through the hell of fixing it. At least, I do.

You are not helping, David.
None of my lowly PCs, Dell Dimension P-III 1GHz, homemade P-II, and two
ThinkPads boots off USB. ThinkPads even doesn't boots off CD. Floppy
is the only way. We have gone through this twice in the past.
Even if it booted off Windows installer CD, you can't do anything, like
launch PQDI to restore image. All are needed to be done with Floppy boot.
It is a bit surprising to hear from you that I have to buy a new PC :-)
