I have aan old laptop from(from 2000) with a CD-ROM drive that no longer functions. BIOS offers no options to bookboot from the USB drive. I can see no options in BIOS for booting to or a network. And the hard drive on the computer is empty, so I can't boot into an OS now.

What other method can I use to install Linux on this laptop so that this computer can be reused?
