OK here it goes best way to describe. I have a few cd rom laptop drives. I wanted to (case scenario) You approach the computer your trying to wipe and reload. The cd rom must not be working no boot from cd. Since it is reload I suspect usb will not work. I was thinking opening up desk top and hooking my handy laptop drive to power and data cable and load windows all drives are mini sata except one which it has plug like video for laptop. Any thoughts on this Idea?
