Do you need a disk drive to install it? I'm asking because I bought a lot of 20 comp. without operating systems or disk drives. If so, then could I just buy one disk drive, install that on a computer, load the operating system, uninstall the disk drive, and repeat for the other 19? Thanks.

Sorry, I meant CD-ROM, not disk drive

If you have 20 computers without no disk drives..... If they are all the same you could boot ghost off a flash drive and use 1 image to install the OS and default image over a network - that would be the fastest and best which is what I do.... Also you could get an external USB Optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD, etc...) which you could hop between computers.

You'll need a CD-ROM drive to install an operating system from a CD, and a hard drive in each of the 20 computers to install the operating system on. You can move the CD-ROM from computer to computer, but it will be a bit of a pain.

Do you mean a floppy drive? If so, the answer is probably no. Most Operating Systems can be loaded from a CD as well as a floppy.

You would need a disk drive for every computer, it's kind of an important piece of hardware.
