    you can make a usb drive active/primary and put all the files from the windows 7 install disc on the usb drive. When the machine boots up you press the hotkey for boot options (it will be displayed on the bottom right hand corner when the machine is first started (with the sager screen displayed) then select the usb drive and you will be good to go.

    A partition is not a bad idea, if you don't mind losing the hard drive space for it. The two options I use at home are:

    • Create a bootable USB with the Microsoft Tool Microsoft Store Online
    • Run the PXE service on my Windows Server that allows for network booting

    The latter option is fantastic for high speed (gigabit preferred) networks at home because it's incredibly quick and doesn't rely on having removeable media. Since I already use the server for DHCP/DNS/FTP/HTTP/File Sharing, it's not like it's extra load either.
