Can't you make a Flash Drive bootable? Select the SSD as your install directory and follow as you normally would, once up and running re-format the Flash drive to FAT32 and use it as normal.

Exactly as this poster said. Google a guide on how to make a USB drive bootable (assuming you have a spare one with adequate capacity) and do that. Its much faster than using the disc.
