I have to remove Linux and install Windows from a Dell Latitude LS laptop that
currently houses Red Hat 7 with grub as the boot loader.  This computer has
no floppy or internal cdrom, just a pcmcia card with  a Sony Vaio cd player
attached.  The machine can't boot from this until the pcmcia module is loaded.
 I have tried a serial port connected floppy drive as well, but can't get the
machine to boot from that either.  

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get Windows onto this machine?
 It's not mine btw, and Linux is not an option for the owners.  I'm trying to
do them a favor here is all.
