Installling 7 x64 on netbook from DVD suggestions needed.
Hello everyone,
I've got a Acer Netbook Aspire One with a Atom Intel processor N570. It has 2G of Ram and I am about to put in a new 60g SSD. I would like to install windows 7 x64 to this machine (the processor is compatible with x64) and I have an OEM Windows 7 x64 disc.
I was thinking of putting in the new drive and installing win 7 from a USB drive (as this netbook has no DVD drive), but am not sure if this is possible with what I have. I can share a DD drive over my network, but without the windows OS I cannot connect to me network. I could install the on onto the drive on another computer then swap it into my netbook.
Any suggestions would be really great. Right now the netbook is running 7 Starter 32bit.
If I installed a new OS I would also need to get drivers specific for the MoBo. Not sure where I would get these.
Thanks for your help
