Solved Win7 Install on Netbook

[MisterActorMan]

Hi. I want to install Win7 32bit Pro on my netbook...but it doesn't have any disc drives. Do I need to set up an external DVD drive with the installer on the DVD, or can I do this with a USB drive or...?

USB will work fine

Here's a Vista tutorial link, should also work for Windows 7: HOWTO: Install Windows Vista from a high speed USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Windows Live

Here are specific instructions on doing the install from a USB flash drive:

Use a USB Key to Install Windows 7?Even on a Netbook

It's quite easy. It's also faster than from a DVD.
