reformat issue

[=112=]

Trying to reformat a laptop with a pcmcia cd-rom drive. Bios doesnt read any drive except the hdd. No floppy exists and no integrated cd-rom. Can't boot from cd-rom because bios doesn't read the drive I guess. Any help on what I can do? Thanks.

Pick up a cheap USB floppy drive, and then have a look at this:

It may not exactly apply, but should give you some ideas.
