hey guys i'm in pretty desperate need for help,i have a old sony vaio laptop, the laptop does not have a cd drive or a floppy since it's one of those ultra slim ones. i bought a external cd drive to connect to the usb to install windows xp since it was on a cd, after i installed it whenever i turned on the computer it would show 2 os's and ask me to choose 2000 (the original) or xp and i found it really annoying and the 2000 took up a lot of space in my computer that i needed. so i went to try to delete 2000 by putting the xp cd in and then going through the setup to delete the partition however it wouldn't let me since it said that it contained file needed to install windows (obviously since there was no built in cd drive to read off of) but in the process the computer froze, i had to turn it off by holding the power button and when i turned it back on the computer wouldn't load any os or read from the usb's external cd drive. now i'm in big trouble, i can't get the computer to read off the windows xp cd since it's not in its bios i guess, but it doesn't have a built in floppy or cd drive so i can't use a boot disk..
HELP Sad

i would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out since i need this laptop for school and need to get it working asap.

thanks!
jon
