Why burn a DVD in order to install Win 7? VirtualBox allows you to mount a CD/DVD image.

  Worst case scenario getting Windows 7 on a USB-stick is dead easy as well. Much simpler than most Linux-distros.

    Plus the install is super fast. USB key to SSD drive Windows 7 install is about 10 to 15 minutes top. (I've done this several times as I've upgraded the computers in the home to SSD drives.)

    As some anecdotal evidence against your point, I've installed Windows 7 on three different systems from a USB stick and all three had the same issue: the installer is unable to see the hard disk while the USB drive is plugged in. From searching around the first time I had the issue it seems like this is well known but there isn't really any effort to fix it. Only solution I was able to use was to format the hard disk NTFS and copy USB drive contents to the disk and boot without the USB. I've also installed a couple different Linux distros from USB and never had any issues (with the install...).
