Even if no drive at all.(for most of them)
But it gives you the chance to check your motherboard,surf the net,check your email etc.
That's all provided your mobo and the CD drive are working.
You can even save some stuff if there is room on the CD.
It has to be a CD RW and be burned without closing the disc.

did you set your bios to boot from the cd first...By the way, I tried putting a live CD in too, it doesn't seem to work.
now that you have removed the old hard drive...slave it to a working computer to get your data off it...I finally got a new hard disk
that could be the cable to the drive is bad or the IDE controller or the motherboard...or your bios..the same problem occurred. It said, "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.

I've just built the machine as spec'd on my profile but just cant get any cd to boot and no matter what i try i just get this error message.
The bios is working fine, it recognises all the memory, hd and other drives. I have changed the boot drive to CD. In that CD i've tried various boot cd's including ones i have made and downloaded at www.theultimatebootcd.com and Xppro and home etc, i have restored the original bios settings, tried upnp options, tried swapping the cd player for dvdrom, tried changing the hd, checked all the connections five times...
It will boot to the bios, then goes to cd, the cd starts to spin, then stops, then you get the message. You can then go through the same process with what ever cd you wish but to no avail? Got any ideas to which bit is the bust bit?
Could this be an issue with the ide controller with having both drives on the one channel? the hd is set to master and the cd to slave in the correct positions on the 80cable ie hd @ black and cd @ grey....
I'm really stuck here and can't figure out what to do next.
