I ordered my wife an MSI Netbook for portability. Operating system is
pre-installed, but it also comes with a CD, presumably an installation disk.
Of course, it's a Netbook, not a laptop, so it doesn't have a CD Drive.

It hasn't arrived yet from Newegg though it will be here soon.

How do I copy the system/OS to a USB? Do I just copy/paste the disk to USB,
or do I need to use special software such as cloning software?

to get an installable OS on the usb stick is not quite as simple as it
sounds, if it is XP you have to use something like "PeToUSB" then make
the USB drive bootable (grub4dos is good) if it is win 7, format the USB
drive as NTFS, copy the contents of the win7 DISK to the USB key then
use BOOTSECT.exe from the win7 disk (cd / boot/ bootsect.exe)
and from a comand prompt bootsect.exe /nt60 x: (x: being the usb key)

Thanks JD.

And my apologies for failing to mention it is XP. I should know better.

You`d be best to leave the wifes`
new netbook alone.

What you`ve asked is complicated /and
maybe destructive to OS and hardware!

You`ve been warned****

If in doubt wear bullet-proof vest.
