???My LAptop Crisis RH9 Install Cd or Floppy nither work???

hi,

im not too new to linux i have messed my main pc up twice with it and enjoyed it too! it was dual boot once with mandrake then red hat i think then SuSE

laptop spec:
4gb hdd (maybe 4.2):
partitions:
2 - Windows - one 800mb other 750mb - 1.55GB
3 - linux - SuSE 9.1 Personal - 1 boot(/Boot) 100mb 2 swap () ? (cant remember it is not 900 mb) file 3 root (/) 1.40 GB

my laptop is HOPELESS:
+ my RH9 CD 1 is Fresh and perfect it works in my main pc (Desktop)
- it cannot be read in my laptop (no it is not a multi session CDR or CDRW)
- it cannot be read in win ME (on my laptop Either)

1.so i tryed a RH9 boot flopit botted up fine but cannot detect the cd i know there are cd driver floppy inmages on the RH9 CD1 but i cant initialise them i dont know how to?

2. should i format my partitions except for the boot so i can still get in to Win ME?
