You can start a computer with either a CD-ROM disk or a floppy disk. This is commonly used in troubleshooting when a system will not start up or what's called "boot-up." In those situations the computer is changed in BIOS to boot up from either the CD-ROM or floppy disk and the files necessary to start the computer are on those files..hope this helps.
