For those of you interested in installing from a USB stick or simply learning a little bit about DISKPART:
PUT WIN 7 DVD ON A USB STICK
OVERVIEW

With Win 7 on a USB stick you can install Win 7 on a netbook quickly and easily.

The main steps are:
Ø Prepare USB stick
Ø Copy DVD to USB stick
Ø Set boot from USB in the netbook BIOS
Ø Power off netbook
Ø Insert USB stick in netbook USB port
Ø Boot the netbook

Why this? There are marvelous demos and tutorials on this subject. This is simply my own notes that I use.

Sometimes it takes several different attempts, including Win2Flash or even copying files into Primary formated stick (works for me). Then look for flash stick in one-time Boot menu, often under hard drives.
