    How to create a bootable restore drive for my Win7 Starter on netbook?


    I have a netbook (Samsung N130) running Win 7 Starter. I am thinking of loading Ubuntu 14.04 on it exclusively. Which means Win 7 will be erased when I partition the disk. Tried loading Ubuntu alongside and for some reason it is not happening, even resulting in a crash. I then get the Win7 reloaded by Samsung.
    Just in case my Ubuntu load is unsuccessful, I want to reload Win7.
    My machine DOES NOT have an optical drive.
    I would like to create a Win7 restoration pen drive, ideally. If that is not possible, I shall have to acquire a USB CD/DVD drive. I would like to avoid the added expense.
    I can use a computer but am a novice otherwise. I can follow clear instructions, but not jargon-filled ones with steps missing.
    Please help
