Secondly, as posted here quite often: a) copy the ENTIRE DVD to a thumb drive or b) install from a network location. Thirdly, a question to ask yourself - how does the Vendor provide for you to restore Windows? A Recovery DVD? A hidden partition from which you can make your own Recovery DVD? Either way you ARE going to need an external DVD drive at some point, so it might be an idea to think about that BEFORE you need one. They aren't expensive...

It's sad when people fail to understand why something is so cheap. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you." -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."
