Netowrk Install Question

[Murphy]

So I bought Vista but I have no DVD drive on my computer. Doh! My
parents computer have a DVD drive equipped and we are home networked.
Is it possible to install Vista from a DVD drive network share? Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's not possible since Vista will reboot at least once in a non-networked
state. You need a local DVD drive to install.

Your PC doesn't have a DVD drive and you can put Vista on it? Most
computers capable of Vista come with DVD ROMs or burners. Besides, if you
can afford to by Vista, you can afford to by a DVD drive.
