Hardware problem on an old notebook
I'm having a problem loading an OS onto an old Dell notebook. I think the CD drive is bad. my question is what are some other ways to get software loaded onto this machine. I have a floppy drive but I think loading win2000 pro from floppies will take a decade, if they even publish it on floppies any more.
I was looking for a more updated version of fastlynx that could load data from the parallel or serial ports, but maybe use USB, Of course I'd need something to boot into on the old notebook to bring up the software, there's nothing on it now. Any suggestions?
