You cannot run it from HDD without installing. And windows does not come with a Live DVD/CD like LInux. However you can try running it on Virtual Machine inside your current OS. Try Oracle VirtualBox.

How do you download windows for aspire one computer without losing any documents?
If you are talking about putting windows on your computer again you will need to backup your old documents (CD/DVD/External hard drive). If you have more than one partition on your computer put all the documents you want to keep onto the second one. Under "My Computer" you may see c:\ and another hard drive possibly d:\. The d:\ will not be affected when installing windows again. The c:\ will be completed wiped.
Can you put a windows 98 hard drive in a XP computer and use it as a second drive?
Yes, you can remove a hard drive from an older computer, place it in a new computer, and format it. Simply formatting it will leave it with no operating system, and thus useless in the Windows 98 computer. Installing Windows 98 to the drive from in your new computer may be difficult if your computer exceeds 512 MB of RAM, or if you use a SATA CD/DVD drive. Installing Windows XP to the drive might not work when placed back into the older computer if it doesn't meet XP's system requirements.
