Install Windows 7 from USB flash drive
My wife has a Neo netbook with a manufacturer installed Windows 7 OS.
Is it possible to reinstall the OS without an optical drive, perhaps with a USB memory and the license code on the Windows sticker?

Use the .iso file sold from the Windows website. If you take this route, it may cost a few bucks, but you can use WUDT to create a bootable USB drive, and then you are solid if you ever need to do it again.
Just be careful to modify your boot order in BIOS.

Similar to what Paul suggests, but I just saw that you don't seem to have an installation file as well? – slhck – 2011-11-05T14:38:14.010
