help me out again, possibly

 ok
 
so
 
i have an error on my pc that is "no operating system found"
 
I cannot reset the bios because i dont know the password
I cannot re- install xp because i dont have the disc, nor can i find a trustworthy site to download it from
so, are there any other options, and 
 
i am guessing linux is one, which one should i do ubuntu?
and how do i go about doing that?

If you download Ubuntu and save it to either a CD or a flash drive, you just put/plug it in before you turn on your computer and it will either auto-boot it or you may have to press like F11 at the first boot-up screen and manually select to boot from either CD drive or Flash drive. 
 
Good luck getting it fixed. 
 
Maybe you could try posting this on Tested. There are a lot of PC knowledgeable people over there.

Man that sucks, looks like one or more of your hard drives took a hit. That or some kind of mobo disaster.

Just keep in mind if the system doesn't automatically begin the installation process then simply reboot it and when the motherboard logo appears during the boot up process quickly keep tapping F8. If you're fast enough you'll be presented with a bunch of options, find the one that dictates which drive the system should attempt to boot from and pick the one which you're installing the OS from. Eg. If installing from a CD/DVD then pick your optical drive.

Insert a flash drive into your floppy drive. This will create a brilliant flash of light thus allowing your computer to find the OS. In order to avoid this problem in the future, consider installing some obnoxious neon lights inside of your see through case.
