Just a quick question, can this computer boot without an internal hard disk? If so does BIOS work and can I boot from an external hard disk?
Hi! Almost all laptops can boot without the internal hard drive, but only to the BIOS - there is nothing else you will be able to do. You cannot boot from an external drive per se, you can have a Windows Installation Medium installed on that drive (but this will only work if there is an internal hard drive - the point of the installation media is to get Windows insalled on that PC) or you can create a Linux Live USB key from which you will be able to boot.
