| | Is there any way to install Vista on a computer without a DVD driv Is the only way to install it is if the computer has an internal or external DVD attached to it? No way to do it over a network or any other method? I have a DVD burner on my Dell Inspiron 9200 with XP Pro, but I do not want to install it on this computer. I have a couple of others that can run it, but do not have DVD drives. They are all networked. Do I need to buy or maybe borrow a DVD drive to attach to the computer I want to install it to? Thanks for your help, if anyone can help me... |

Easier & less headaches to just buy one & be done with it.

| | Re: Is there any way to install Vista on a computer without a DVD driv I agree. Especially because the poster will just go through it all again with RC1 and the release version anyway. "R.
