A the present moment many laptop manufacturers, producing a product with a size 10 inches, this size usually does not have optical drive because of its small size. The users often face difficulties if they want to repair the damage to his system OS. How the solution ?I do not want to buy any external DVDRW.

There is a software called Winsetupfromusb that allows you to make bootable pendrives containing windows setup from your existing cd or dvd.The problem remains that some netbooks does not allow the computer to be booted from a usb drive.Still you may be lucky

You can download the software from the links in this forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/install-usb-winsetupfromusb-gui-t120444.html . I see that the latest Beta version was dated 26 December 2009 but you may prefer to use the latest "stable" version. Choose the appropriate link.

You will either have to borrow an external optical drive or get the Windows set up disk transferred to a USB flash drive. I don't think that there would be any difficulty in running the set - up facility from the flash drive.

Installing windows from flash disc is not a new thing. You can easily do it. As i know, for windows xp, the installer inside a flash disc is about 50 MB to 60 MB. But it depends on your windows version. You can easily find many image files for such installer since many people helping others by uploading their windows flash disc installer on the internet. I think since you don't have any optical drive such as CD/DVD Rom, then the download is the best solution for you. You can easily download that file from an internet cafe or your friend's home. But if you want to make your own flash disc installer, you need to use some software. I won't tell you details here since i don't know whether you are using a legal or illegal windows copy. It's about other's copyright material so i hope you can understand this conversation. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
