Well, if you would have a second (older) HDD laying around then you could use that, but then we bump into the "floppyless system" problem. Do you have friends, relatives, neighbors who have a USB floppy-drive? (I have one especially for this purpose! I've ran into this before, and I hate it!), if you could borrow that for a few hours, then you could use that to create the floppy. USB floppy drives don't need drivers, they go in just like a thumbdrive.)
How would you burn it to CD... the program wants a floppy to write to, it won't let you create an image for burning to CD <SIGH>.
In the mean time you could download and install the program, so that when you find (or even buy, they aren't that expensive) an USB FDD, you can start right away!
