If you bought an unused DVD it sounds legal enough. If you have another computer with a DVD drive you can boot off a network or temporarily swap drives, otherwise you need a DVD drive.

Plug an ethernet cable from your laptop to your desktop and then on your desktop PC go to the BIOS and tell it to boot off of PXE first (on your computer it might say something like boot off network, on my Dell it says PXE though).
Now go to the laptop and insert the DVD. After saving the BIOS settings shutdown both computers and then boot the laptop off the CD. Then start the Desktop. This should work, I haven't tried it myself but someone at a small Geek
store told me about this a while ago. I have to agree with Nevakonaza though.

Here is a $20 DVD drive off Amazon. It's got good rating. Click Here for the DVD drive.
 
Whenever people talk about OS ISO's, it always sounds like they downloaded them.

It was put on a DVD for a reason, because it cant fit on a normal CD. Now you can try and try and maybe find some CD's that it will fit on, but the ISO is made for a DVD so I dont think it will even burn on a CD if there was enough space.

Just spend $30 and get a DVD Burner, or $20 and get a DVD ROM.
