PowerTower Pro with no OS

[Jeremy Huber]

Ok, so I've inherited a PowerTower Pro, and being a Linux freak, I'd like to
use YDL on it.  The catch is that the HDD died, so I have no MacOS partition
to boot from, nor anything that will partition it to the point that I can
install the free 7.5.5 or something like that.  All of the "hacked" versions
of Drive Tool that will supposedly let you use any drive, I can't get to
work.

Any ideas?  Am I completely offbase here?

Thanks!

Jeremy
