Windows 7 Boot disk failure on a computer w/no CD drive

[tressa]

Is it possible to fix my boot disk problem on a computer that does not have a CD drive?

I have an Acer laptop running Windows 7. The computer froze up and I had to force power it down. Upon restarting, I got the "boot disk failure" message and the machine was making strange "clicking" noises. The answers to boot disk failure problems that I've read so far include inserting a CD-ROM into the computer.

Is there a solution that does not require a CD drive?

You can substitute CD/DVD-ROM with bootable USB-stick, or with an external DVD-drive.
