Help to Fix My Computer How do I fix my Mac? Okay so I'm in a weird spot with my Mac. It has no startup up disk.  I have the installation disk for it but my super drive does not work.  I'm wondering can I boot it from a USB?  I do not care if it uses apples software or Linux.  I just want to get it to work so icon access the internet.

I have access to window computers and Mac computers if that helps.  I can download things and everything but terminal is not accessible.  If you need further info just ask.

JUST TO RECAP: 


Doesn't have Startup disk

So I can't go on it to do things

I don't care if it runs Linux or Apple

NOT WINDOWS

I have access to windows and Mac computers 

BUT they don't have full access 

Can load things to my USB
I don't care if I need to get a few things for it to work
Request more info if needed


Thank you in advance if you find anything help full
What "Doesn't work" about your superdrive? Is it possible to get another USB Disk Drive? 

I'm assuming that since you don't have "full" access to the other Macs that the Disk Utility app on them is inaccessible to you as well. Check on that, if you can. IF you can get into Disk Utility on one of the other Macs, you might be able to connect the two using a Firewire or Thunderbolt cable and go into Target Disk Mode to restore your Mac.

Another option would be to use the Terminal to create your own bootable USB drive. Even if its your buddy's MacBook, you should still be able to log into the App Store, download the installer for whatever version you bought, and use the built-in createinstallmedia to make a bootable drive.

If both of these options don't work, I think your next best bet is to buy an install disk off eBay or something. Hardly ideal, but then at least you'd have them if this happens again.
