hahaha.. these are fun.. I don't know if you can boot win(crap)7 from usb.. or pxe boot across a network (assuming you have a running LAMP stack to drop the bootloader on) I PXE boot.. because I'm a linux user and it's dead simple to network boot from my server and let the netinstall get on with it. there is a windoze way.. but I think win stuff is crap so wouldn't even bother to look.. small lean linux is far preferable on netbooks due to low system resources. http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/02/...he-network-pxe-boot-with-tftp-and-windows-pe/
yes. make certain in the bios it can boot off a usb drive & is 1st in the boot order. had to do that with an acer netbook which had xp sp3 but had to install vista as would not load xp sp2.
