(old external CDrom with serial cable) > possible, but pretty slow.

Best is to get the HD out, format on a different PC, and install a bootmanager on the disk (don't forget the MBR). Then install from the bootmanager through BartPE or Hiren's BootCD... if you just install the OS on the other PC directly, you're getting problems with the hardware configs, as the other PC has different hardware... Windows will not work after different hardware is detected... FreeBSD / Linux will install the wrong drivers, could bounce back later.

Install the OS on the PC you're gonna use.
