I have an old Dell Laptop with no hard drive and no battery, I have the AC plug and all that fun stuff and I can plug the computer in so that it has power...
I haven't tried to push any buttons, but what's the point without a HD?
Anyway, I have an external HD and I'm wondering if I could boot the Dell from the external HD? is it possible?
If not I'm just going to cough up the $60 for a cheapy HD for the lappy and a battery... my plan is to run Ubuntu off the computer, manly for use to surf the webs and such... no need for anything like gaming or insane processing, nust need a surfer.
