My Sony VAIO (Slimtop PCV-L640) keeps rebooting halfway through Win2k bootup. The interrnal CD is dead (way to expensive to replace) as well as the internal floppy. Is there an alternative boot method, or a way to access my HD? Also, my BIOS doesn't seem to support booting from USB. I'm trying to avoid removing the HD because it's a bear to do. >> Stay informed about: Alternate PC boot method help
