Hello Tad,
More system info would help. If this machine is old enough that it just doesn't have a CD-ROM available, you may be out of luck.
If it is newer and you have USB, you can get an external drive for a decent price these days. Be careful as you can spend way more on extra parts then the machine is possibly worth.
Good luck
