    HI,
    What OS do you want to install?
    If your computer has a floppy drive, then some of the much older windows' versions had floppy disks for installations.
    If you want to install XP, 2000, then my suggestion is to get a new cd-rom.

    CDROM drives are cheap, around $30 USD or less for a used drive, that's your best bet. All other options are more trouble than they are worth.
