Windows 8 Help

[Ruins]

I have just built by computer and I am trying to figure out how I would install windows. It is on a DvD and I don't have a DvD player. I Have a laptop with a DVD player, is there a way i can connect the DvD player to my Desktop or transfer the files on a USB

Pointless and takes hours to finish, just do a straight copy/paste from DVD to USB.
