toby 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 No boot disc Old Computer in need of a new OS Well I have an old AMI comp and want to format the hard drive, BUT the cd rom works but the comp wont detect it even though it is set to detect it. I have no boot disc and no way of making a system boot disc cause the Dell comp I have has no Floppy Drive. I can Install one but don't have the money to buy one right now. So pretty much I can't do anything on this old comp unless someone can help me figure out what to do and give me some suggestions. -reply by Jurgen Install from usb or network, or just bin the computer. Xubuntu is a lightweight Ubuntu flavour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
