How Can I Make a PCMCIA Card CD Drive Bootable?
A PCMCIA Card CD Drive is a computer disc drive that is installed inside of your computer's case (as opposed to externally) and is directly connected to your computer's motherboard. If you have a bootable CD that you'd like to use to start your computer as opposed to your operating system, enter your computer's main setup program (called the BIOS) and physically tell it that you want to make this change.
