Windows on an optical drive-less system
Someone has asked me to help them with this tiny Fujitsu Lifebook laptop. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow or Thursday, but I wanted to get this posted and some responses beforehand.
Basically the laptop has no optical drive, period. Apparently it's an option for an external drive. In a perfect world, my external DVD-RW will work fine, but I'd like to prepare for the worst... Does anyone know how to load windows without an optical drive? I have seen the guides around the internet, but I'm looking for someone with experience doing so, perhaps a guide that can be confirmed to work. I have some ideas to try, but in the end simply hope I can use my external drive...
