Upgrade w/o optical drive

I have a Fujitsu P1610 with Win XP Pro and I want to upgrade to Vista Home
Premium. The computer does not have an optical drive, so I purchased and
downloaded the upgrade from MS. Do I now have to buy a USB drive of some
kind, copy these files to removable media, then do the upgrade, or can I just
run the upgrade from the hard drive where the files downloaded to?
