Booting On HP Pavillion ze1250 Laptop

[kaos06]

I have an HP Pavillion ze1250 laptop. It does not support non-emulation booting; it only supports emulation (floppy) booting, for as far as I know is also called "El Torito." The laptop does not have a floppy drive, it only has a CD/DVD ROM drive, one hard disk, a wireless adapter, and support to boot from hard disk and internal LAN. HP Restore CD 3/4 is damaged, and when trying to install it can't read the third disc. I tried using Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD4WIN) but it uses non-emulation booting. I noticed the HP Restore discs have a Windows 95-like emulation boot image on them. I also tried making a copy of the Windows XP Professional with SP2 CD using CDBurnerXP's included boot image, Caldera DR-DOS. I tried 'call d:\i386\WINNT.exe', which loaded a blue screen stating something like "Setup can't find a Swap file to use." Could this be because the booted CD is using memory, or that the attempted installation messed the partitions up? If it is the latter, what kind of boot CD should I burn and use to fix the partitions suitable for a Windows installation. I even created another Windows CD with Boot Essentials (http://www.nerdlabs.org/bootdisks/diskimages/wbootess.exe; check the site for more boot images) in a directory directly on the Windows CD so as to call smartdrv.exe, which was recommended before calling WINNT.exe. Still, the same swap file error. I can't order an HP Restore CD for a while and need this resolved if possible as soon as possible. I will not dare try a Windows Server RIS installation, even if it is possible on the laptop, for the laptop is about 2 years old and tends to heat up and hang. I doubt I can slave the laptop hard disk on this PC (the pin connector seems a lot smaller). Is it possible to make a boot CD that is compatible with my laptop that will successfully start the Windows installation? Do I need to format and partition with a boot utility? Do I need to boot a CD in such a way that it allows Windows Setup to execute correctly? I will appreciate any help. Thanks! :(
