WINDOWS 7 TUTORIAL

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.

The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

*USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)

*Windows 7 or Vista installation files.

Follow the below steps to create bootable Windows 7/Vista USB drive using which you can install Windows 7/Vista easily.

1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a safe location on your system.

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt with admin rights.

*Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.

Or

*Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it.

So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5. Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is “D” and USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to know about it).

6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type  the following command now:

D:CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code.

BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:

Where “H” is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the below message.

8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7/Vista. Only thing you need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive. I won’t explain it as it’s just the matter the changing the boot priority or enabling the USB boot option in the BIOS.

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.

windows 7 tutorial install on your Mac using Boot Camp you will need the following:

1. All firmware updates installed on your Mac (use Apple Button -> Software Update… to check)
2. A Windows 7 installation DVD
3. Your OS X Leopard installation DVD
4. At least 10GB of empty hard drive space on your Mac (you can probably get away with less but you’ll have almost no room to install anything other than the OS)
5. An hour if all goes well, up to 5 hours if not
6. Though not absolutely required, it’s a VERY good idea to have a complete and up to date Time Machine backup of OS X – it really came in handy for me. Because part of the process involves partitioning your drive, there’s always the distinct chance something will go wrong and everything will be wiped out.
7. Patience, possibly a great deal of it. Having a book handy will also help kill time during the partitioning, installing etc).

Installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp

1. Here goes. First thing – close absolutely every open program you can. That includes those things running in the Apple Menu that you always forget about. Don’t worry about killing the Dock or Dashboard – having those running is fine.
2. Now open a Finder and navigate to Applications -> Utilities and double-click Boot Camp Assistant.




3. Click Continue on the initial Introduction screen. Ignore the fact that it doesn’t mention Windows 7 as a possible OS to install.
4. Now you have to decide how much space you want to allocate to Windows 7. You might be able to get away with going as low as 6GB, but I would highly advise against it. You’ll have almost no space left over to install software, and your page file in Windows might cause frequent crashes. I opted for 20GB, which left me with just a bit over 16GB to use after installing Windows 7.To change the amount of space to dedicate to Windows 7, click the small divider between Mac OS X and Windows, and drag it to the left.
   
5. Once you’ve determined how much space you want to allocate to Windows 7, click the Partition button.




6. The partitioning itself doesn’t take particularly long. If you receive an error, proceed to step 10 of the “How to install Vista with Boot Camp” tutorial. It provides all the troubleshooting info you need to resolve partitioning issues. Once you’ve cleared up any problems, or if everything just goes smoothly, proceed with the next step in this tutorial.




7. Once completed you’ll notice a new BOOTCAMP drive on your desktop.



8. Now insert your Windows 7 DVD and click the Start Installation button.




9. Your Mac will restart, and Windows 7 will boot. You’ll be prompted with a window asking you which partition you want to install Windows on. Select the one with BOOTCAMP in the Name column. Selecting anything else may wipe out OS X or cause serious problems. Then select the Drive options (advanced) link.




10.With the BOOTCAMP volume still selected, click the Format link.




10. Click OK.




11. And Windows 7 will begin to install. It’s a fairly boring process, so you may want to grab yourself a cup of coffee or your beverage of choice. But don’t go too far away, because when your system reboots, you’ll need to remove the Windows 7 DVD.




12. With the Windows 7 DVD removed, your Mac will automatically boot back into Windows 7, and the installation will complete. You’ll be prompted to select your language, keyboard layout etc. The rest of the Windows 7 installation process is very straight forward.
13. Once the installation has completed and your Mac has restarted again, you’ll be able to use Windows 7. WiFi will work immediately (no drivers to install) so connect to the Internet. Windows 7 will then begin to download updates, including the proper video card driver. Let it do its thing.



14. Once completed, you’ll be prompted to reboot yet again. Do so.




15. Once Windows 7 boots back up again, you’ll notice the resolution is much better, and you can enable the advanced graphics features.




16. But if you check for sound, you’ll notice there are no sound drivers installed.



17. Insert your OS X Leopard DVD. When prompted, select Run setup.exe.



18. The Boot Camp installer will launch. Click Next to begin.

19. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement and then click Next again.




20. Make sure that Apple Software Update for Windows is checked, and click Install.




21. The Boot Camp installer will do its thing, and install all the required drivers.

22. Notifications will pop up with each driver that gets installed.



23. Once completed, click Finish.




24. And yet again you’ll be prompted to reboot. Remove your OS X Leopard DVD from the drive, and click Yes to restart.



25. If you still have problems with sound not working, you’ll need to install the Realtek drivers. Windows 7 Tutorial will explain what to do.
26. That’s it, you’re done! When your Mac boots, hold down the Option key to select which Operating System you want to boot into Windows 7 tutorial.

Microsoft Corp.. ’s next version of the Windows operating system is almost ready for prime time.

This is a message to Chief Executive Steve Ballmer on the eve of the official opening of the International Consumer Electronics Show.

The world’s largest producer of software that attempts to address the disclosure of its Live Search the default search engine programs on more computers and mobile phones. It also has a new version of the Ford Auto-Sync technology, which doubles the voice in the directory service, Tellme, which Microsoft bought in 2007.

For years, the keynote at CES, including Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, whose status as a pioneer in the industry on the basis of radical visions of the future, based on his speech. Doors to the mantle, the day to day operations at Microsoft last summer, and Wednesday was the first time, Ballmer, the high-profile management.

“It feels like we are entering a phase of reduced expectations, a time when we tried to temper our optimism and the scope of our ambitions,” said Ballmer in a nod to the recession. “But no matter what happens with the economy or recession, as long as this, I believe that our digital life will only continue to get richer.”

Ballmer said Microsoft continues to invest more in research and development than their peers and technology.

The Director announced that a nearly final “beta” test version of Windows 7 will be on Friday for PC users to download and play.

The new operating system _ which could be responsible for the purchase of computers within a year _ a lot of the same technology as its predecessor, the much maligned Vista. Windows 7, but is the solution of many problems I had with Windows Vista PC users. For example, Microsoft has committed to facilitate the installation of software and peripherals of the pump less annoying alerts and notifications.

Therefore, Ballmer promised that Windows 7 will boot faster and batteries drain slower.

“I think that Windows is still in the middle of the technology of the solar system,” said Ballmer. “We all ingredients: simplicity, reliability and speed, and work hard to change this and make it ready.”

Ballmer hopes that the number of people using Microsoft Live Search engine, which ranks behind Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. in popularity, through an agreement with PC manufacturer Dell Inc. Dell is a bar browser toolbar, Live Search and Windows Live programs, including Microsoft’s e-mail and instant messaging applications, for most consumers and small businesses, the computers around the world. Replaced by a relationship between Dell and Google.

The then CEO of Microsoft has announced a period of five years of partnership with Verizon Wireless, for the Live Search tool to use, and all Verizon phones in the U.S. for access to the Internet.

Among other highlights of the Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft: The company offers support for Flash _ only YouTube videos on their mobile version of Internet Explorer. And there is a connection between Facebook and its own social network of Windows Live, so that if the people or uploading photos on Facebook, that the information on the website of Microsoft.

Windows 7 (beta) only: Even the earliest leaked Windows 7 betas haven’t been around long enough for multi-purpose tweaking tools to come around. SetteMaxer, though, offers a few of the tweaks familiar to the customization crowd.

The screenshot above is exactly what SetteMaxer is—just a handful of check boxes and an “Apply” button. It’s definitely worth reading at the project page below what specifically each feature does when applied, though most are familiar fixes like User Account Control/Defender disablers, menu speed options, and program crash controls. Still, with any tweaking utility of this type, be absolutely sure you want to make a change before you do so—some options, like “disable task scheduler,” can have some serious, system-endangering punch to them.

If you see anything worth enacting in the list above, grab the executable, run it, apply the change, and you can delete it if you want, as SetteMaxer is a stand-alone file. It’s a free download for Windows 7 beta systems only.

If you’re dying to try out Windows 7 but aren’t ready to give up your installation of XP or Vista, let’s take a look at how to dual boot Windows 7 with XP or Vista.

Step 0: Download the Windows 7 Beta and Burn It to a DVD

Assuming you’ve already downloaded a fresh copy of Windows 7, you’ll need to burn it to a DVD in order to do a fresh installation. To handle this task, grab a copy of the most popular CD and DVD burning tool ImgBurn, burn the ISO to a DVD, and move right along to step 1.
