Bootable CD
I have another more serious (to me) thread going here regarding reinstall XP, but seems I need to buy an external floppy drive to continue there.
So.... can I reconfigure so can boot from a bootable CD such as the Dell reinstallation CD?

Mary G,
I assume you mean highlight #4 in my picture and hit enter? If so, doesn't seem to work.

The screen indicates that you can press U or D to change the device order. Select the CD-ROM drive and press U to move it up in the order.

Thanks all... that worked nicely!
Should I have received a Dell Dimension Resource CD with my computer? (Dimension 8400 purchased this year. XP/MCE)
There are several places I have visited lately that have utilities (Dsrfix for one) that are to be downloaded to floppies. Is it possible to put these on a CD instead of a floppy and still make them work? I was unable to find a cheapo external floppy drive yesterday and would just as soon return the one I bought unopened.
