@scoot USB boots are hard

@nightshade24 Nope. This machine doesn't have a disc drive, I've repeatedly installed Windows 7 on it via USB

@scoot Windows 8 is confusing to my head.

@nightshade24 I don't think you actually need to enter the OS to boot of of USB?

@scoot Haha :D That actually makes me glad, the fact that there are at least some other human beings out there whom I do not need to tell that you can install an OS from USB :D

@critialcloudkicker Tell, teach, and usually show, I have been doing that for years

@critialcloudkicker Necessity required me to learn about it, I actually learnt about that when I accidentally messed up my Windows install on a Netbook which obviously had no disc drive.

@scoot i launched it from the USB and it went to grub
Thursday, 10-Jul-14 20:11:37 UTC from web-

@scoot I actually did not know that Netbooks have no Disk Drive ( although kind of obvious if you think about it ) . I would probably have tried installing using 2 computers and net-boot first, since the net- part of netbook would already be on my brain, I am not sure how you'd do that from the top of my head though

@critialcloudkicker I only OWNED one computer at the time.

@scoot Oh, wow. I am sitting at my beauty I bought in March of this year. Behind my second monitor I bought probably 5 years ago and has seen so much technomancy and replacement of cases brutal fireworks and an electrocution that I have grown to call it Derpy, on the floor is a computer I bought probably 3 years ago but miraculously died ( memory controller is dead ? or the motherboard has dead lines ) before Derpy did, Behind my TV is a computer I got from my aunt when she bought a new one, I was planning to turn it into a media-server untill I gave up upon it. To my back is a Laptop in dire need of a new OS ( and I might just try out this net-install for funzies ). And on the other side of the room is a laptop that did not even hear of the words "Boot from CD-Rom" ( < so you have to inject Plop.at with a little bit of hard-disk-tricking ) ... Yeah, my room is a mess
