You can't. You must have some form of installation medium to install an operating system. Although it is possible to install over a network, it is very difficult to set this up correctly, and you will still need the installation files on another computer. Depending on the operating system in question, it may be possible to remove the hard drive, connect it to another computer, and either image a file system onto it, or run the installer (providing, again, that you have a disk or files).
well if you don't have the RIGHT disk you could try Ubuntu...it is free and all you need is a blank CD to make a Ubuntu live CD
if you don't have ANY disk I'm afraid you are S.O.L my friend...
keep in mind that Ubuntu is a Linux OS not windows so you will not be able to run .exe files on it...you'll have to run tar.gz(i think) files on Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is not good for games, although with the use of windows emulators (such as W.I.N.E.) you can get some .exe files and some games to work
