      Ben  ..So its entirely possible that the hard drive has been wiped prior to you being given the pc ..........If thats the case you will need a operating systen to install on it .

        Assuming you have a cdrom drive you will have to change the bios to let the cdrom boot 1st in the sequence, then put the disk in and boot from that.
