    Hello

    The problem is that this laptop has only a floppy reader.. But I`m able to remove the hard-drive and use some cables to connect it with another computer via USB.
    It works like an external hard-drive.
    The hard-drive of that PC is totally empty, I`ve copied DSL to that hard-drive.. But how do I make it bootable?

    Thanks
