hi
I recently purchased a Samsung NC10, but have a little problem.
For fun I would like to have Windows 7 beta I on my netbook .The problem is that a DVD player missing.
What are the options:
-Setup via USB stick running

The latter Problem is: I have only one stick of 2GB. Well it is not a problem to a bigger stick I have already tried: (Kingston 8GB) Stick format is fat32. Setup files on usb stick and in BIOS the USB stick as the first boot (stick is recognized in the BIOS!)
but Unfortunately no setup.so please can any body tell me what is wrong ?thank you

Do you probably have the boot sector? so that the stick effectively boot.
check here to make it properly Install Windows 7 from a USB Flash Drive

The disk may be part, if you use Vista, the XP version can not handle USB sticks. You also have a 4GB USB stick needed. Below is a roadmap, by the way always the command that you must key in diskpart.
Stop the USB stick into your computer
Start the command via Start -> cmd
type diskpart, and then enter
Select your USB stick, probably drive 1, drive 0 is because your hard disk, or a further number if you have more hard disks. Check equally well the disk you used! (Select disk 1)
Remove all existing partitions and formats (Clean)
Create a primary partition (Create)
Select partition 1 (select partition 1)
Make the USB stick bootable (Active)
Format the drive FAT32 (format fs = fat32)
Give the drive a drive letter (Asign)
Close the command line.

Now you have all files from Windows 7 copy to your USB stick. Then just set in your BIOS that you want to boot from USB and it should work. Obviously careful what you do, if you select the wrong disk or a wrong act, or you accidentally format the wrong drive and it's not such a good idea.

This works only for USB sticks and USB hard disks. Vista you can also install this way
