Hey i have an IBM thinkpad 2652 which was given to me it kept crashing to the blue screen of death continuously i tried reformating the hard drive and putting on xp pro that i have but for some reason it wont boot off my bood cd or a usb drive that has boot up capbility. It keeps saying media undetected and then says no operating system found. Now i know the CD and USB ports work because my usb shows up in bios and i had it set to boot off the usb as the main boot up device, i did the same for the CD as well. Any suggestions on how i can boot off a CD or USB drive so i can reformat the hard drive and install window fresh? I dont have recovery disks for this system and no Floppy drive either just CD and USB. It wont even boot up from the windows install disk....im kind of stumped i mean ive tried several boot programs of the internet nothing seems to work. Thanks
