"No usb flash or dvd drive" - ​​how to install a Windows system?

Question

linux

I forgot my usb flash drive at work, - the weekend is ahead, - I urgently need to put the Windows system on my laptop, - I'm racking my brains on how to do the installation without resorting to a usb flash drive. By the way, there is no dvd drive!
The only thing that came to mind was to boot from the HDD! The question is how!?
I tried, hoping to run Windows USB / DVD Download Tool under wine already , - failure, - wine simply did not launch the exe. I also use YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator , - but this is when I make a bootable usb flash drive from a Windows system, - when trying to do the same with ubuntu - it requires additional packages / libraries, - I decided too dreary.
Now I have an image of Windows 7 Ultimate and HDD / SSD, the question is: "How to install Windows 7 from under Ubuntu 14.04"? There is a solution!?

Answer 4

If there is another computer, Internet, free weekends, a supply of beer, perseverance, a ton of enthusiasm - PXE boot, for example using the Windows Deployment System (although there are options). I put it on an ancient laptop that just couldn't boot via USB.
If you don’t have any of the above, then take 500 rubles and go to the nearest store.
Hard variant: Grub + ISO/VHD.
