I have a Compaq Armada M300 ultra-light laptop. My cd is a portable cd-r/rw that attaches via a pc card cable. I am using Windows ME, and the traditional boot disk will not enable my cd rom. I wish to wipe the hard drive and do a clean install, but withou a boot floppy that activates my pc card cd rom ia am up the creek without a paddle... I am competent enough to do minor editing in the autoexec.bat and config.sys files, but have had no luck so far... I would greatly appreciate any help.

thanks
Phil
