In that case, you need to bite the bullet, and either buy or
borrow another disk, pronto.

You would be amazed at the low prices of hard disks lately, a
couple weeks ago at Microcenter, for only $60+tax out the door,
I bought a 320 GB SATA 2.5" (*LAPTOP*) hard disk. 


3.5" desktop disks are even cheaper than 2.5" laptop disks.

I got one of those for $33 at Microcenter 2 weeks ago
WITHOUT a discount.
