If you don’t have dvd drive in your netbook,laptop and your desktop then not to worry You can install Windows 7 from nearly any USB hard drive.It is very good news for those have netbook now there is very easy to install Windows 7 Release Candidate, even if you don’t have an external DVD drive.You know very well about the window 7 that we have taked about many time .you can Windows 7 gets downloaded as an ISO file and then extracted to a DVD for installation but as we know that there is no dvd in netbook that is why you need to do some other way to install window 7 in netbook.There are many ways to install but I preffered the best methos is installing Windows 7 from an external hard drive.
If you want to install Windows 7 from an external hard drive then you need to to have 5gb of free space in your hard disk The process, which takes a little less than an hour, goes like this
1. Download the Windows 7 Release Candidate (32-bit) from Microsoft.
2. Connect your external hard drive to your PC Ideally it should be empty, as it’s going to get littered with Windows 7 installer files, but that’s not crucial. You just need to make sure it has at least 5GB of available space.
3. In Vista: Click Start, type , then press . In XP: Head to the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, and then open Computer Management.
4. Click Disk Management, then find your external hard drive in the list on the right Right-click the drive and choose Mark Partition as Active. Approve whatever warnings Windows issues.

5. Now you need to extract the Windows 7 ISO file to your drive. I used the trial version of Undisker for this, but any number of utilities will do the job . If you go with Undisker, click File, Open, navigate to the folder containing your ISO, then open it. Click Image, Extract To, then navigate to the root folder of your external hard drive. Click Extract and wait a few minutes for the process to finish.
6. Safely remove your external drive, then plug it into your netbook and power up. It may be necessary to venture into the BIOS to change the boot order so that USB drives are detected first, but many netbooks let you bring up a boot menu by hitting a function key. On my Acer Aspire One, for instance, a tap of F12 during the POST screen lets me choose my desired boot drive.
7. Assuming the USB drive boots correctly, the Windows 7 installer should start right up. Follow all the
prompts and you’re on your way and follow the screen for installing the window 7.
