Vista - 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...

DVD ( No record ) units are as low as ~$15. A recorder can be
found for under ~$45. Easier & less headaches to just buy one &
be done with it.

I agree. Especially because the poster will just go through it all again
with RC1 and the release version anyway.
