A bootable CD but no bootable CDreader . How can I do.

[Philippe Didier]

Hi,

On a old computer, I have a CD reader but it does not want to boot the 
CD... any bootable CD (I tried 5 different flavors of Linux).
As I have the CD Hardy 8.04-1, I do not want to make a full network 
installation.

What is the best way to do now ?

A boot loader in a USB key, then reading the ISO ? Any other way ?

I read about WUBI, but moving it to a real partition and wiping out 
Windows does not look so easy (LPVM...)

FYI, the old Windows can be destroyed.
