I recently bought a new acer laptop, it has linux on it but no cd drive. I need to install windows. A netwrok install is not an option for me, Anyone sorted this out or got any ideas about how to sovle this. I saw that xp can be installed by usb but could not find an easy tutorial to use. An help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You may try the USB stick installation.
Or even an external cd drive connected through USB.
Or even an external Hard disk install will do.

Yeah I would go with the external CD-Rom drive, of course I question why your laptop didn't have a CD-ROM drive with it though? Cause I doubt Acer move to the no CD-ROM drives in a laptop method yet since that concept is still fairly new in the tech industry.

Chances are its not a laptop, its probably a netbook, which would explain the linux install.


I agree with the USB install.
