Did you manage. I've got the same problem. What did you do?

 

You don't mention which Windows you had on your acer aspire one d150-1625 netbook but since I have a D150-1920 and it came with Windows XP (now runs Win 7 Home premium) I'll assume you are working with XP. Here is a site that may be of some help but you will need to either borrow a CD/DVD player or use some ones computer to create the USB drive....
