If you have a writable partition (fat32) on the hard drive, or a USB
drive of sufficient capacity, you could create a bootable CD image with
mkisofs and burn it with whatever operating system is installed on the
hard drive. Or, if your PC is capable of booting from USB, you could
try a distribution that installs to a USB drive, such as Slax.
