How can I install Windows 8 on my HDD without the use of a USB or DVD?

Is it possible to install Windows 8 from one partition where i have the ISO to another partition just like an application.

The reason i am asking is because there i have no empty DVD's or a USB stick around and have no idea how to install it since holidays are here all shops are closed.

Any option to maybe emulate a partition as a USB mount Win 8 image on it and then boot it up on restart.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Yes, you can.
Run Sources\Setup.exe from the DVD image within Windows 7 and choose Custom Installation.

It will ask you which partition to install Windows 8 on; just select the second partition.
It will extract the Windows 8 files ono that partition, install the windows 8 boot loader, and reboot into Windows 8.

Yes it is possible. During the install it will ask you which partition to install from.

I will try to get a picture of the install to let you see what it looks like.
