I need to reinstall windows, but it asks for the disc when trying to reinstall because of missing files. I have the original disc and key but my optical drive does not work.
Is it possible for me to create the installation media here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media ,put it on a flashdrive, and use that instead of the disc? How would I go about that because I have a feeling I would need to reinstall using a different method without the disc and using a flashdrive.
