How do I install CD rom onto Netbook?

SnowWhiterThanWhite · 19 February 2011 at 5:28PM

Have just purchased the MSI wind from Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5084296/Trail/searchtext%3EMSI+WIND.htm

I have a fully licenced MS 2007 CD Rom - is there any way I can load this onto the netbook?
I do have another PC running W7 with a DVD drive?

Thanks

If your MSI is networked with your W7 PC you could share the DVD drive on the PC.

Or copy the cd contents onto a memory card

I've struggled before trying to set up a 'network' between our 3 different PC's.

Hi, that sounds like a good option - when I put the CD rom in, what do I do after that?

Thanks

or create an iso of the CD on the PC, copy it across the network to the netbook and download/install VirtualClone Drive on the netbook.

Since you are not happy with networking, install Imageburn on your Win 7 PC (http://www.imgburn.com/), use it to create an iso copy of the CD, transfer the iso file via memory card to the netbook and then use VirtualCloneDrive to run the iso/install the MS Offcie.

You can share a cdrom drive from another machine and access said drive from new netbook // //

Just go into Windows Explorer and look at the CD Contents. Drag a box around all the files => Right click and COPY

Now explore into the Memory card => Right click and PASTE

Once that is done, remove the memory card and insert it into the Netbook

Open the files and click SETUP and install as normal.
