Hi all,
First of all I want to state I know the "it's not practical" and all that, so think of this thread as a challenge or entertainment.
Here is the problem:
I have an old IBM ThinkPad iSeries laptop that I want to install Win7 on for testing purposes. The problem is that this machine only has cd-rom where as Win7 install is on a DVD (2 Gb+) and I don't think it can boot from USB.

Anyone got creative idea on how to accomplish this ?

Thanks for your time.
