    Installing Windows 7 from harddisk.


    Hi All,

    I am having a compaq laptop.
    I am having a 500GB spare HDD which can be used as internal HDD. Its totally empty.

    Currently there is a 250GB HDD attached to my laptop which is having windows 7.

    I want to replace my 250GB HDD with 500GB HDD and install windows 7.
    But my DVD Drive is not working and I also dont have a USB(pen drive).

    I can connect my 500GB HDD as an external HDD via USB.

    What i want is to install windows 7 on my 500GB HDD by creating a partion in that 500GB HDD and replacing it with installation of windows 7.
    and than i'll replace my 250GB HDD with 500GB HDD and install windows 7 via that that partition that i created in 500GB HDD.

    I dont know how to make that partition bootable.

    Please help me how to solve this problem


    Regards and thanks
