Laptops generally have a Fn selection for:
laptop screen
mirror laptop and external
external only

What make/model is yours?

So you said you don't have a hdd with windows on it and want to do an installation with an external monitor. You just have to push the power button and close the lid, the laptop will use the external monitor.

It's working with my IBM with no hdd and an external monitor, you must have more problems than just your broken screen.

Fn+F7 is usually the keystroke to switch to an external screen.

You said you can see the welcome screen. What does it do after that? Does the monitor say it's out of range, and then go to sleep?
