Dell Latitude D505, I want to reinstall XP Pro SP3 for this laptop because it just became to bogged down from the old user, The only thing is the CD Drive is busted must of been dropped cause that circle thingy is gone to hold the CD, I have a external CD drive but I don't know how to set it to boot from the external CD drive. Would I have to set it to boot from usb because its plugged in through usb?

Got it, I just removed the CD drive out of the laptop and booted from the CD drive in the boot menu. I couldn't get the boot USB in the BIOS even though I set it to do it. It must've read as another CD drive, is that right? Idk it works though.
