If the bios is not locked, you can boot from USB, copy any installer you need...

It's really easy to do if you need it.

I'm assuming you haven't had the joy of working with McAfee Ednpoint Protection. When you insert a USB device, it automatically encrypts it. Our BIOS are locked down to prevent anyone from monkeying with the desktops. Same with notebooks. Hell, we even encrypt CDR/DVD disks that are writeable...
Now that sounds nightmarish.

I would quit or require a very high payment.
