Windows 7 supports installing from a USB flash drive or a hard drive(It depends upon BIOS options, but most modern computers support it).

You can follow this guide here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/248995/how_to_install_windows_7_without_the_disc.html

Cheers

P.S: You may need to change the boot order of devices in BIOS for this to work, let me know if you are unsure about that.
