I have an NC10 netbook as well and I agree that it is a wonderful little
machine. I waiting for the warranty to be over, then I'm going to install
the 2d Gig of Ram, then I'll install Windows 7....

Question
Hi Folks,
here is an article I have in the win7 links:
How to install Windws7 from a USB stick
Installing from a USB Memory Stick: My wife has a Samsung NC10 netbook
(very nice machine, by the way), and we wanted to install Windows 7 Beta on
this machine to replace the pre-installed Windows XP environment. Like most
netbook-class devices, this machine has no built-in media drive, and nor
did I have an external USB DVD drive available to boot off. The solution: I
took a spare 4GB USB 2.0 thumbdrive, reformatted it as FAT32, and simply
copied the contents of the Windows 7 Beta ISO image to the memory stick
using xcopy e:\ f:\ /e /f (where e: was the DVD drive and f: was the
removable drive location). Not only was it easy to boot and install from
the thumbdrive, it was also blindingly fast: quicker than the corresponding
DVD install on my desktop machine.

Here is the way Microsoft told us about at the Win7 Beta launch

I seriously doubt the installer would be able to deal with its files spread
out across more than a single disk. Are you in contact with anyone who
might not mind donating a blank DVD to you for this?
Peace,
