That won't work because your not able to boot from any other media other than the internal HDD.
The only way around is to put the HDD in a USB enclosure and user another computer to copy the windows installation files onto it. That way every time you boot, you will be presented with an option to install Windows from the hard drive.
Other than that, just put a slim DVD drive into the laptop and you will be able to boot from the windows installation disk.
Both ways always worked for me for repairing students' laptops
