Have you tried to use a Virtual CD/DVD drive? Try getting a .ISO file for Windows 7 (which is easy to do, look up a tutorial online if you need some help with that). After that it gets a bit complicated, but from my past experiences, I used a second hard drive to put the Windows files on and then went from there. It involves mounting the virtual disc on the virtual drive, and then copying the files from the virtual drive onto your second drive. If you want to take this route, I can try and help out via PMs.
