Can't you just boot from cdrom?
 
NT4 Cd is bootable.
 
If you press [ESC] during POST it will bring you
a Boot Menu asking you to choose where to boot From (Cd,Floppy,Hard Disk).
There you can choose to boot from cd-rom.
 
Some Hp OB models (don't remember that one)you have to plug the FDD to the printer port when using both drives. If you look in the FDD right side there's a plug disguised, that you have to pull.
 
Hope that helps.
