Hi!

I have recently got my hands on a beast of machine! The Alienware Aurora mALX "portable" PC. It has Windows 7 "installed" but no drivers that seem to work. I have tried to boot from the DVD drive, USB stick etc. but for some reason it won´t boot... three questions:

1. what is a recommended OS for this old machine? My plan is to use it to show my kids what games I played when I was young (DOS, and early windows games)

2. does anyone know why I can´t get it to boot from any other place than the HD? I have tried to change settings in the bios but to no avail... 

3. it came with a CD/DVD with some .gho files. I believe it is a backup of the factory HD but I don´t know how to start a restore since it doesn´t boot

I hope anyone can help, I really would like to get this beast up and running again!
