I have a netbook with xp on it and want to put 7 on, there is no dvd drive. I know I can make a bootable flash drive to do it but has anyone tried to mount the iso with virtual clone drive or similar and install that way ? would that work or does windows need to access the virtual dvd after re booting during the install

THE TRUTH
The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.Comment
