Problem:
If you don’t have a CD or DVD drive on your netbook then you may not be able to install Windows 7. Also, the read speeds are faster from USB drive than your CD-ROM, which actually decreases the install time for Windows 7.

Quickly respond and open up the Command Prompt as Administrator and browse to program files and also the accessories. Then simply, right click on CMD and go to “Run as Administrator”. Now if you fail to live up to the last step or if your UAC is enabled, then there is a high chance running into the risk of receiving an error message.
