I've recently been given a desktop computer, however this gift was less generous than it first seemed.
I have been unable to get it up and running as it has No operating system.
I'm sure you're all thinking how simple my problem is to solve - just put a CD or floppy in..... but the tower hasn't got a floppy drive and the CD drive hasn't been installed or for some other reason isn't registering with the computer.
Has anybody got any advice on how to set up a computer within these restraints? it has USB sockets, is there a way to run a boot program off of a USB stick without an operating system being present?
Looking forward to your suggestions, google has failed me on this one, sorry if its stupidly easy and I just haven't been asking the internet the right questions thus far
