Install Wndows 7 in a windows xp system without cd or usb
Hallo,
I have a netbook with windows xp pro 32-bit installed on it. plus i have windows 7 lite edition that i want to install on my netbook. ofcourse there is no cd drive. Now... i know there is a way to install it from a usb but i want to try and go one step further. I want to create a partition in the hard drive that will contain the install of the windows 7 and use it every time i need to format my netbook. (Just like HP machines....)
So far i know that i need to make a 4GB primary partition in FAT32 system, of my disk and to make bootable i have to go to the disk management and choose (make partition active). Every one says that this option will make my 4GB partition bootable. what i believe is that if i make this move, without making sure that the setup files of the windows 7 in the 4GB partition are goiong to work for sure, and restart my netbook it will never start again and i will be forced to install windows 7 from a usb disk.
So what i am asking is: if somebody can confirm that im right so far and what i have to do with the setup files in the 4GB partition to make sure that i will be able to start the setup of the windows 7 will booting my netbook.
Thanks in advance
