Hi!

Please tell _which_ OS you have to reinstall? Vyatta?
What will be your install media? (I think USB drive, either flash or HD)
Is the target platform really lacking DVD drive? May be you could
borrow USB one.
Are you able to setup DHCP/TFTP boot, such as Windows RIS/WDS?

Best regards,
Sergii

P.S.
Generic instructions for conversion of Bootable CD to USB media:
1. You should format your media as FAT32 and make it bootable.
2. Copy CD content to the root of your drive.
(Or unpack ISO here with 7-zip/WinRar/Winimage/etc)
3. Set volume label to the same one as on CD.
4. Move isolinux folder content to drive root.
5. Rename isolinux.cfg at drive root to syslinux.cfg
6. Run syslinux.exe -ma with your drive letter.
7. Unmount it (safe removal) and enjoy!

Steps are taken from .bat linked from here:

If instead you need to write CD content into _internal_
flash drive of your platform, you should:
1. Boot your platform with any live media of Linux or Windows.
2. Perform steps above against internal flash.
3. It could be easier to temporarily remove the flash and
access it from your desktop.
