Quick question does deletion/removal of cdrom preclude you from reloading windows from a disk? That is ok for us that use image restorers like snapshot or ghost but for those that don't this could be an issue.

We would be needing a CD-Rom drive only when we need to re-install a corrupt Windows installation (i.e. when it does not boot). So having the cdrom.sys file in the system is of no use when we are unable to boot to Windows itself. Either way, a corrupt Windows installation has to be repaired before Windows starts, by booting from the Windows set-up CD & selecting to repair a Windows partition. And as for us, who have made an image of the cMP partition with Drive-backup solutions ( i use Acronis), we as well need to start the Recovery procedure by booting from a CD of that Recovery program. The CD rom just needs to be enabled in the BIOS for both the situations to work.
As for the cdrom.sys file in Windows, its only for using a cd-rom to install something while windows is already running ( which ofcourse we would not)...
