(3) The laptop's BIOS is too old to allow booting from a USB (only
allows HD, CD or floppy).  It requires something to boot first before it
can mount additional files such a USB stick.
    
Does it support booting from network (PXE?)? What other boot up methods are 
supported? (leaving appart floppy and hard disk).


  
Only the three options noted - CD, floppy and HD.  The BIOS does not (appear to) support PXE ... at least that is not given as an option anyway.
