The 2nd easiest way is to mount your hard drive in someone elses's box as a "slave" and copy the Windows CD to a D: partition[1] and install Windows from there. The 3rd way, which is what you were considering, is to get DOS drivers for your CD drive. [1] Some folks will say copying to C:\CABS is OK; I disagree.
