I haven't had an optical drive in my build for quite some time, and I rarely miss it.

I still install OS's via DVD. I guess I should let go.

Simply move to a thumb drive, faster installs too!

I can't remember the last time I used my optical drive. I do still need to install and play Gotham City though.

Yes you should. Even a run of the mill USB 2.0 drive installs OSes much, MUCH faster.

Format your USB drive to FAT32 and use Disk Managment to set it as active.

The hit Windows Key + R.

Type: xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f v:

Instead of d, use the drive letter of the windows install disc.

Instead of v, use the drive letter of your USB stick.

Or use the Windows 7 usb something tool. Comes from MS and works like a charm.
