I'm looking into buying a new computer but now when I was going through one of my choices specifications, I noticed it comes without an operating system. So I thought ok, I'll put in Vista Ultimate 64bit. But then, if it has no OS, how does it turn on? How would you install the operating system?
 
When you install an operating system you boot from a CD/DVD rather than booting from a hard drive (which you have to have an OS installed to do).
 
You have to install the O.S. via Disk. On most on boards, it will have the boot disk settings. You will have to change the boot disk priority and move the CD/DVD Drive above the hard disk. Once this occurs, you will boot via CD and you will get an installation setup of whatever O.S. your installing. Its actually quite simple.
