Solve : HP OmniBook 510 OS Help?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello all,<br/><br/>I recently was given a HP OmniBook 510 "Ultra Portable" PC. It was given to me for free so I didn't really check it over for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/issues-520128" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ISSUES">ISSUES</a> before I got it. To my dismay, the docking pins were bent and would arch if I docked the Computer to its Base station. This would not normaly be an issue, however the PC itself has no CD/DVD or Floppy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/drives-959782" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DRIVES">DRIVES</a>, the base does. So now the base is rendered useless. I attempted to install windows 98 on a similar PC and then use that as a base to upgrade to XP. It worked, however when setup attempted to copy the rest of the files it failed. I attemped the same with linux and still <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/nothing-581732" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NOTHING">NOTHING</a>. I need this laptop to work, so I can use it. It does not seem that the BIOS supports native USB boot either, so my exteral USB DVD Drive is useless too. I do have 2 small home network servers, but I really do not know how to do a network install. Any and all help is appriciated!<br/><br/>Thanks.<br/>JohnI would get (or borrow) an external CD Drive.<br/><br/>Its not possible to install over a network.
