hi,

i currently have 2 hard drives installed. on my 1st hard drive i have windows xp and i wish to install windows 7 on my 2nd hard drive. i have the windows 7installation files on my hard drive, problem is i dont have blank dvds to copy the file to so i cant install for a cd.

how would i go about installing windows 7 on my 2nd hard drive without burning windows 7 to a dvd?
