This says you have no OPTICAL DRIVE! No CD/DVD drive. One thing you might think about doing is buying an EXTERNAL CD/DVD drive USB type. you could also think about a THUMB or FLASH DRIVE.

Answer 2

trouble with netbooks too small for dvd drives. can buy an external cd/dvd drive usb plug in. but sounds like something or someone messed up bios. it doesn't know where to boot system from. when you boot it up, hit any key, see what it does, if it ask about resetting bios, reset to defauft. or take it to a local tech.

Answer 3

you will need a external cd rom drive.and set your bios to boot from that drive at startup.

Answer 4

Yes, but windows is gonna be slow.
