Hi!

I have an X61s with XP installed, but i have recovery dvd:s with Vista that shipped with the computer. Since i have no optical drive, it would be nice to be able to boot and install the dvds from a USB stick. Has anyone done this succesfully?

Or does anyone else have a solution? Can i boot over network(cd-drive on a desktop computer)? Tips? ideas?

Thanx!

Easiest thing is to borrow/buy a USB DVD drive.
