One of the business subnotebook manufacturers to "streamline" its products is to negate the optical device drive, such as CD-ROM/RW or DVD-ROM/RW. Component that is used to access the CD or DVD chip is indeed sequester enough space and resources.
Consequently, the subnotebook can not access the CD or DVD in the subnotebook, or forced to buy the external optical drive is still running via the USB port available.

One of the problems due to the unavailability of any optical drives on the subnotebook is a difficulty when trying to install an application or operating system. Not infrequently a user must copy the application or operating system in which you want to install to the USB flash disk, or install as usual. But, of course, this is making, considering not many users who know the general installation of the application procedure or the operating system via flash disk, and the price of an external optical drive is not cheap.
Case example, supposing we want to replace the Xandros Linux operating system installed on the Asus Eee subnotebook PC with Windows XP, then we need to install via external optical drive. May not be too complicated for you who have enough money to buy an external optical drive, but with how you want that since the beginning of the stint with the subnotebook to buy?
Now, through this article I want to share tips to make the module installation of Windows XP using a USB flash media disk, which will save costs and make the readers more smart.
