Toshiba M200 boot from CD?

[paisley]

Hi Elmar,

you are a genius in getting the M200 to boot from USB - congratulations!

Can we push the envelope and also get the M200 to boot from a normal USB CD drive (in addition to the officially supported ones) so that one can (re)instal windows from the CD drive?

Thanks for your great work!

Greetings,
Paisley

Try making a Windows USB stick installer, and boot it with plop.

That is one idea, but still booting from CD ability would be great!
