    @toksyuryel I'm pretty sure I can get something to boot from a CD once I get my old portable DVD drive hooked up again. But then I have a second problem in that this machine never came with a Windows install disc, so I have to hope it's already GPT-partitioned - no current distro I know of works correctly with both a DOS-style partition table and a UEFI bootloader (whereas Windows does, so it's entirely possible that's the out-of-box configuration of this system); I'm not yet willing to totally blow away the copy of Windows on here without some way of reinstalling it once the disk's reformatted.
