I would like to borrow one of these for a few hours in order to recover my laptop's software. The laptop has no optical drive of its own, but its docking station can support a DVD-Drive, and it does support USB DVD-Drives. The BIOS is old enough that it doesn't support USB flash drive booting, otherwise this is the method I would have chosen. It only supports booting to an SD card of up to 512MB, which isn't enough room to hold the image of the Recovery ROM.
Unless someone knows of a bootable program that can fit on an SD card and force support for booting to a USB drive, I'll need to borrow a DVD drive. It shouldn't take long.
Thanks,
