running XP Pro or better, try Microsoft Virtual PC. You can boot virtual CD images that way and that might work. Your best bet would be software speech since XP does weird things with your serial port. Just make sure to emulate a virtual sound card. Note that I haven't actually tried this but I got a FreeDOS boot floppy to boot this way. You could also try VMWare, Bochs, and Qemu but I've had the best luck with Microsoft Virtual PC. Note that VPC won't run on XP Home or Windows 9X.

Please I need something that won't boot from a CD, since I don't have sighted help to change the boot sequence. If there is any distribution or virtual consol that can work under windows or boot when Windows is already on the computer?
