I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 with a dying HDD and a bum CD-ROM drive. I ordered the recovery CD from Dell not knowing the drive was shot. Is there any way to transfer the CD files onto a thumbdrive (2gb so room is not a problem) and install it from there? I know best course of action is to simply replace the drive and HDD, but I just need it to work for another few weeks. Is this do-able?
