I have downloaded the beta of Windows 7 to try out. The computer I am putting it on has no floppy of DVD drive. I can yank them out of another computer but i was looking for a software solution first. I need something that will make a bootable CDrom which will allow me to to connect to my LAN and use the shared DVD drive from another computer. Anyone know of such a thing or do i need to tear a computer apart to cram a DVD in there.

Thx
 
You'll need to install a DVD in your computer in order to install Windows. Windows setup does not include network drivers for such a thing.

Unless you have a Windows Server box and you use WDS!
