My Compaq Mini Laptop ( Model No : 110C-1100 ) does not have an internal DVD RW ; the OS has got corrupted. I wish to install an OS afresh . I have been told, that you can do this by using a USB bootable Pen-Drive. I have a 4GB pen-drive ( a flash drive ). How to create a bootable Pen-Drive ? Will somebody guide me ? Thanks in ADVANCE . Please help .-- Dr. JOSHI.You will need the cd/dvd rom to copy the OS files to a USB by using EITHER an external drive or USED another computer to perform the task.
