well, all my gears in storage, and probably will be until 2011

I could just buy a CDRW drive, but I wanted to get this install done this weekend (Im off work till Wednesday)
I was following a giude about making a USB drive bootable by playing around with NTLDR and boot.ini - any way of using this to go straight to the WINNT installer in the I386 folder?
Another option is to find a bootdisk maker that will accept the second hard drive as a floppy drive so I can copy a system file to it, but I cant find anything like that...
Bloody Microsoft. They think they're making our lives EASIER....
