I know there are adapters to put a laptop cd drive in a desktop, but what about the other way around? Is there an adapter that will let me hook a desktop Cd player to a laptop? Basically, I need to install windows on my laptop which has allready been formatted and has no OS., and my cd drive is not working for some reason. Unless there is another way I can do it, like can I boot from a USB drive?

there are adapters called "hard drive enclosures", they have a USB connector and you can put a cd-rom or a hard drive in. there was a really cheap one here:
