    Is that just an external CD drive or the one that specifically is for the D400?

    Is it the Dell external CD drive that was made specificially for this model?

    If so, you and you are trying to boot from the Windows CD with the BIOS set to boot from CD first, then your only other choice is to try another Windows CD.
