Problem installing 2000 on a Notebook without a Cd-ROM

Hello

First:
  1. My BIOS does not support booting from a USB device
  2. The Notebook does NOT have a CD-ROM
  3. I am able to access a USB CD-ROM with a bootdisk
  4. I've created 3 partitions, but only the second partition is working, because the harddisk is corrupt
  5. The partion is 7GB large and has the letter D

The Problems I've encountered:
  • I tried to start the ..\I386\winnt.exe but the setup doesn't see my Harddrive. Windows is unable to locate a appropriate drive with enough space.
  • Same as above happens when I run the winnt from the harddisk
  • The setup doesn't start at all when there is no CD-ROM driver loaded, so I cannot just use simple bootdisks

Well, what can I do?? I'd like to load the USB drivers during the bootsetup(using 4 bootdisk) but I do not know how. Does anyone have a idea how to get this installation going?

Thank you

Bye
