So I was just wondering, Everyone is saying that If I dont have a disk drive to install the OS out of, I need to get a usb and install it trough that, I was just wondering I in stead of using a USB I cold get the old disk drive out of my old Pc and plug that in outside the case directly to the mobo temporarily until its installed, would this work?
