Do you have a network card, either built-in or pcmcia?

It's possible that way..
The cd's will need to be accessed either from the internet or from another pc, hence the need for networking..

Someone has told me that before but there is absolutely nothing on the computer. My computer starts up with the dell loading screen with the option for setup with F2. then right after it's done loading it goes to a black screen with the message "Error loading operating system"
