Copy the entire DVD to a Thumb drive and install from that.
However, you may like to consider what method the Vendor gave you to restore
your Windows on the Netbook. If it was a Recovery DVD then you ARE going to
need an external DVD drive at some stage. They aren't expensive...

Or if a recovery DVD is not included, there may be some method of *making*
recovery DVD/CDs. In which case ... allow me to quote:
