It is really easy to make a bootable Windows USB drive. Try this tool: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/08...a-7-with-wint/

It is slightly more complicated than just copying the files, as you need to make the drive bootable. When the Mini 10 turns on, pick the boot menu (F2 I think) and pick USB drive or select USB as the primary boot device in the bios. I've done this on my own Mini 10 many times, and it works perfectly.

Alternatively, Target sells a $45 USB DVD drive from Targus.
