Laptap bro?

You can use your thumbdrive/external hdd to be a bootable drive. There you can install linux in your laptop

just google for workarounds about bootable thumbdrives. they have plenty out there.

hmmm lisora pud aning sitwasyona oi. i dunno if mo work ba by copying the entire installer on your hdd and doing a linux network boot. di ko sure ani.

^I guess the OP can always borrow a thumbdrive right?

^^ oo pero ingon man gud siya sa iya 1st post unable to boot from usb drive.

But the irony here is that:

ang good news lang ani kay ang hdd sa laptap, pwede ma plug thru usb enclosure.

it is either using the enclosure, makita sa laptop ang enclosure or dili. The only think I can suggest about the OP is that to install ubuntu using the hard drive of the laptop into another computer. It works btw, linux doesn't have those licensing issues(transferring xp-installed hard drives into another computers) and im pretty sure you're not going to experience such in linux.

actually, you can even install ubuntu into a thumbdrive without problems. i use this procedure when im hacking on wireless networks around. Para walay ebidensya ba, labay lang ang thumbdrive diretso(LOLOL).
