Installing to HD without CDROM or FloppyForum: HD Install Topic: Installing to HD without CDROM or Floppy started by: giftoflight Posted by giftoflight on Oct. 20 2005,08:05
My father's laptop is a Pentium 100 with 40 megs of ram. It cannot boot from floppy regardless of what I set BIOS to, and the CDROM drive does not work, period. I can take the hard drive out, and it is now connected (via an adapter) to my desktop PC as a slave drive. My desktop PC does NOT have a floppy drive, though I do have USB jump drives and two CDR/DVDR drives that it can boot from. I want to install DSL on his hard drive and put it back on his laptop once again. Or, is it possible that installation files can be copied to his hard drive, and then ran once the laptop boots up the HD? What is the best way I can get DSL installed on his hard drive while hooked up to my comp WITHOUT booting from floppy? And if this is relevent, is the "embedded" DSL download the same as the LiveCD?
