Does the BIOS see the CD drive? If so, you should, in theory, at least,
be able to use a CD. The driver should be Windows specific.

I don't know if something from the Win95 error can use a USB stick, but
that's another possibility. However, you mention a USB port. If you
have a USB thumb drive, many distributions can be installed (or used
with a Live version) from a thumb drive, such as Puppy.

Miss Calendar: Okay, so this Master guy tried to open the
Hellmouth, but he got stuck in it. And now, all the signs are reading
that he's going to get out, which opens the Hellmouth, which brings
the demons which ends the world.
Giles: Yes. That about sums it up, yes.
Miss Calendar: The part that gets me, though, is where Buffy is the
Vampire Slayer. She's so little.
