    trying to install 7 w/o optical drive or USB drive (do have an external hdd)

    This method is going to be trial/error on my part but here's my stab at it:

    Use the guide he linked. Substitute in step 4, DO NOT FORMAT. Pre-format the hard drive with another PC/current windows install in NTFS format, then create 2 partitions. 1 to install from and one to install to. So in step 4 I beleive all you would have to do is a "clean" "select partition XX" & "active" command.

    In step 5, use virtual CD/DVD software.

    EDIT:

    The only problem I see with above is how are you going to install while booting? Meaning, for it to boot wouldn't you have to be external but yet must install to an internal drive?
