    Alright lads. anyone in dublin got a usb cd/dvd drive i could borrow for a few hours?

    Need to get xp/vista onto my netbook which has no dvd/cd drive, tried a few online guides of getting xp/vista onto a usb key but none of them work. Also tried a load of linux distros now and none of them work either.

    I just put a link on the bargain alerts which can connect a dvd drive to a usb port(among other things). 12.5euro

    On a stick yon the computer & tech forum "user guides" someone made a guide of how to load things onto a flash drive. It's supposed to work
