Hi, i'm trying to install Windows 7 to my old computer...
The only problem is it doesn't have a DVD drive(only CD) and it can't boot from USB :(.
Is there way to "copy" just the installer to the CD and other data to load from USB?

Thanks for responds, and i'm sorry for my bad english :))

As cheap as drives are I'd replace it with a larger one as a typical install is going to eat up most of your 20gb...

Click to expand...

You can spend $60 and get a HD and a DVD and you are set to go. What kind of processor and ram does the computer have?

It's AMD K6-2(533mhz) with 192 mb ram :D It was just experiment to try if the Win7 can run on very old HW... so i'll try to install the windows on the HDD through Virtualbox or something like that....
