Also I want to load my windows 7 on it but again no dvd drive. On my laptop I have a dvd drive however. Please answer quickly thanks!

You can use the win7 usb tool.

With this tool you can put the windows 7 disc image onto a usb drive (8gb or bigger).
You will then go to your computer, enter bios, set hard drive boot device to make the 1st one the usb drive, and under your boot device settings set the hard drive to be the first boot device.

Do you currently have a disc of windows 7?

Ok then,

You can use Nero, Roxio, or if you dont have any higher end Buring program, you can download Ashampoo Burning Stuio Free.
You then put your disc in the drive, open the program and go to disc image, and create new disc image, select your drive, and if it asks make sure the file type is a .iso.
Once the iso is complete you can open the win7 usb tool, select the iso image and write it to your flash drive (this will erase all files).
Then do the stepls listed in my earier post to set the bios accordingly and you should be up and installing windows 7 (and at a much faster speed then using the dvd i might add).
