OS install with no CD ROM

20725 · Jun 27, 2015

I bought a used Pan. toughbook with no HDD. I have a HDD for it from the other toughbook I broke. I would like to install Win7 on this but it has no optical drive. Is there a workaround other than buying an external cd drive?

USB, created with one of these:
Rufus
or
Windows USB/DVD Download Tool

That will Make a bootable USB with an ISO file, can I do a complete install from an ISO?

Correct...that will make a bootable DVD or USB from the ISO. That's all you need for a complete install.

In the BIOS,(PhoenixBIOS V1.00L13A) I have no option for a USB boot, only CD drive, Hard Disk Drive, Floppy Drive and LAN

You may be out of luck, then. Time to investigate a cheap external DVD
hmm....but since that will be going through USB...
