Installing windows 7 from a USB Drive(Suit​able for netbooks)

Question

1. Convert your Setup DVD to an ISO
If you only have DVD-based install media, you must first convert this disc to an ISO file. (Remember that you must use the 32-bit version.) Insert the Setup DVD, close the Auto Run window, and then run ImgBurn. In the main ImgBurn window, choosecreate image file from disc. (Optionally change the destination location to your desktop or somewhere obvious.) Click the graphical Create Image button in the bottom left to create the image. ImgBurn will create two files, the ISO you need and a separate unnecessary file that ImgBurn could use later.
2. Copy the ISO to a USB key
Launch the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool (as it's identified in Start Menu Search) and insert the USB storage device you want to use. In Step 1 of the application wizard, choose the ISO file you created in the first step of these directions (or the ISO file you downloaded from Microsoft) and click Next. In Step 2, choose USB device. In Step 3, choose the appropriate USB media from the drop-down list and then click Begin copying. The tool will (slowly) create a bootable USB-based install media. (Note that you must first copy any data off of the USB device as it will need to format and overwrite it.)
3. Backup your existing data with Windows Easy Transfer
If you want to back up your existing documents and settings, the next step is to runWindows Easy Transfer. On the netbook, boot into the current Windows XP-based environment and insert the USB key into a spare USB port. Navigate to the\support\migwiz folder (typically D:\support\migwiz) and run migwiz.exe, which is the executable file for the Windows Easy Transfer utility. Use this utility to backup your personal data.
4. Clean install and activate Windows 7
Next, you need to reboot the netbook and boot off of the USB key. (How you do this will vary from machine to machine--for example, on my son's netbook, you hit the F12 key to pick the boot media--but you should see a message on the initial BIOS screen telling you how to make it work; otherwise, check your netbook's documentation.) Run Setup normally, choosing the Custom install type (not Upgrade). Be sure to try and enter your new Windows 7 product key during Setup as well, if that option is offered. You may also get a choice to use the existing disk (in which case a windows.old folder structure will be created)

I think you need to fix your links, you seem to have maybe copied the post from another board / forum, the link style you have inserted doesn't work here.
