How to install Windows 7 without a Dvd reader?

[Chac]

Just installed Parallels 7 on my Mac Mini.
There is no built in Dvd reader. How can i install Windows 7 from the Dvd i have?

Do you have another computer nearby?

1) You could try using DVD Sharing (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1777)
2) You could try creating an .iso image of the DVD and move that to your Mac Mini
3) You could mount the DVD and share it as a folder (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060420105632844)

Thanks for sharing how to install the software in a netbook. I have a netbook and thought it could be useless since there is no DVD reader. But, since you shared how to fixed it, i can now use it. Thanks again

you can use a USB DVD reader. Hope this helps.
