    Hey, I have a laptop that doesnt have a cd drive which I am trying to install windows on. I have the disk, an external hard drive, and another computer. I copied a bootable iso onto the external drive (its a 2.5, so I just take it out and put it in the laptop), and it wont boot, and I tried extracting all the files onto the drive then trying to boot it. I also tried installing windows, using the other comp, onto the harddrive through the usb, but it wouldnt let me. Does anyone have some advice? Thanks
