| 825664 | 2009-10-30 08:53:00 | I have a new Hp Pavillion dv2 laptop which i love as small and portable. Just got new windows 7 and microsoft office software on dvd but cant load it direct as no dvd or cd drive on laptop. Question: Can I load files from dvd direct to an external drive then loaqd files from there to laptop and then do the usual setup/install files from there. dont have a portable dvd so can do that. where's speedy gonzales when you need him? he'll know, he knows everything!! Appreciate any help or ideas??? |

| 825665 | 2009-10-30 09:05:00 | For Windows 7-you have two options: 1. If you need to perform upgrade, just copy all files from the DVD then launch "setup.exe" 2. If you need to perform a full install, then create a bootable USB from the dvd using this: 1. 0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe" target="_blank">images2.store.microsoft.com As for M$ Office: 1. Copy the files and run the set 2. Make an image then mount it Blam |

| 825666 | 2009-10-30 09:06:00 | Yep you have to make a bootable USB flash drive. Google "Install windows 7 from a flash drive". For MS office you may be able to copy the files from the CD to a flash drive and just run the setup.exe. (I have no idea if that would work though but worth a shot". |
