Debian can boot from floppy (last time I checked) so use USB floppy if you have a floppy drive. Someone suggested the pen-drive option. What's on the hard drive? Do you care to keep any of it? There's goodbye-microsoft.com. You can follow the hd-media section (hard drive install) from the full installation manual. You would use whatever OS to install the pieces, then perhaps a grub bootloader on floppy or USB to boot the correct image.
