This is a very handy tool that every Windows Admin should have in their repertoire:

This little software program allows you to take any of the operating system ISO files mentioned above and convert them into a bootable flash drive from which you can install windows. Handy on any workstation/server/laptop that either has a non-functional DVD drive or just doesn’t have a drive (which is the case with many newer laptops).

A good set of instructions for using the tool can be found here:
