Install Windows 7 from USB flash drive

I want to install Windows Vista erasing currently installed Ubuntu. My CD/DVD-drive isn't working and if I connect external CD/DVD drive, it's also not getting detected in boot time. The only option I'm left with is USB-installation.

Now I have a laptop with Ubuntu, a Windows Vista Original DVD and a USB drive. I want to install Windows Vista onto my laptop. Is there any way to install with the resources I have. Please help me to crack this out. Thanks.

@IvoFlipse Dude it worked. I installed using USB. By just copying all the DVD contents into formatted USB worked. Thanks. – r18ul Dec 13 '11 at 04:08
No problem @Rahul, glad it worked :-) – Ivo Flipse Dec 13 '11 at 05:35
