Windows 7 can be installed in netbook with no DVD drive using an USB key. It actually must be installed using a USB key. The USB key must have 4GB or more free storage space. If you understand command lines you may want to use the Diskpart utility. Most people will prefer to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. The tool will also create a bootable DVD from which you can install the OS. That’s the only solution if you have a netbook without an optical drive.
