So here i found the way to install OS in computers with no CD-ROM, using a Pen-Drive.
Its a small application which has to be used to the pen-drive bootable.
It is called as WINSetupFromUSB. I tried many more methods available on internet but this one worked perfect for me.
Click here to download the software.
Follow these simple steps to make USB bootable-
1. Install the software downloaded from above link.
2. Format the pen-drive(it must be at least 2GB for XP and 4GB for win7 or vista) from windows.
3. Extract the ISO containing the setup of the OS, use 7zip or winrar for the same.
4. For eg. in case of XP extract files with contain I386 folder,the software needs that, so you just have to extract the image of the OS and provide link of the folder which has the unzip files.
5. Click go in the software we are using, and you are done. Remove safely the pen-drive, it has now the OS you have just booted.
6. Now in the BIOS change the priority of the USB in the boot section to highest.
7. Restart your computer and you'll see before your OS starts it asks to boot from USB, press any key to do so.
8. The XP installation i did was in two parts. The 1st part copies all the files necessary for the installation.
9. After this your computer restarts and then you again have to boot from USB i.e step7 and install part two. Thats it, OS installation takes it time as usual and you are done. Keep this USB for any further use.
9 simple steps and you can install a OS using Pen-drive.
