I need to install a fresh windows OS like vista on a pc here but it doesnt have a dvd just a regualar cd burner drive does anyone have a tricks to install vista on this pc? Like splitting vista on regular cd's or what are the steps to do it over a network? Thanks....
 
If the system only has a CD drive, then it probably doesn't have the capability to run Vista efficiently, hardware wise.

The easiest fix is to pay $15 for a DVD rom drive.
 
Ok thanks thats an option, but how about anyone know how to install vista with a usb harrdive?
 
If you have access to a PC with a DVD drive you could use "Poweriso" to extract the vista files to a USB drive or external drive and install from that.
 
Why are people still trying to justify not having a DVD drive in this day an age? Seriously people, upgrade already.:rolleyes:

EDIT: That USB install link is pretty slick, im gonna bookmark that for future reference.

sounds like a great option. you could do a search for 'deploy vista,' but that's mostly for networks with a existing image
