Buy a new DVD player for your device. It would cost about 20 dollars.

1) You have to install Windows when the hard drive is connected to the PC you will be using. You can't just install it on another PC and move it over.

2) FYI, you can't use the same copy of Windows for two PC's anyway.

3) USB boot issue:
Since it sounds like your USB drive is bootable I'm unsure what the problem is. Either your motherboard doesn't support boot by USB or else you don't have it enabled properly as the first boot device in the BIOS.

What tool did you use to create the bootable Windows install on the USB?

So the problem seems to be that it won't boot from the USB? Or is it something else?
