using unetbootin you can install any linux onto your hard disk.but for some distros to work c drive must be FAT. Try puppy linux it might work.

Here is my stupid idea, if you have two built in hard disks, you can format a partition on it as fat16 and use unetbootin to make it bootable to install. Just uncheck the show only usb devices box in unetbootin. This is how I upgrade my ancient beast with no contact to the outside world but web.
