Install Windows 7 In 13 Step

The purpose of this guide is to prepare a USB Flash Drive with the installation files of Windows Vista™ or Windows 7™. Most Netbook does not come with a CD/DVD drive and therefore installing or upgrading to a new operating system is always a challenge. The guide is divided into two parts, the first part talks about the preparation of the Flash Drive and the later talks about how to copy the installation file content on to the Drive for installation.


Method 1 of 2: Preparing The USB Flash Drive

  1. 1
    Most Flash Drives available in the market will work. When choosing a drive for the preparation we should remember two key points:
    • The Flash Drive should have a decent read/write speed
    • The size of the drive should be at least 4GB
  2. 2
    To prepare the USB Flash Drive, we need access to a computer running either Windows Vista™ or Windows 7™. Insert the Flash Drive in the computer and wait for the computer to recognize the drive.
  3. 3
    Click START > All Programs > Accessories
  4. 4
    Right click on Command Prompt and select “Run As Administrator”
  5. 5
    In Command Prompt, type DISKPART
  6. 6
    Type SELECT DISK 1 [ The Picture Shows 2 Because Of My Drive Allocations ]
  7. 7
    Type CLEAN [ A successful clean will prompt the message “Diskpart succeeded in cleaning the disk” ]
  8. 8
    Type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
  9. 9
    Type SELECT PARTITION 1
  10. 10
    Type ACTIVE
    • By following the above step we have just created a USB Flash Drive capable of booting from the system BIOS.

EditMethod 2 of 2: Copying The Installation Files

  1. 1
    The next step is to copy the files from the Original Windows Vista™ / Windows 7™ disc. Before we copy the content of the disc to the Flash Drive, we have to make sure that the drive is ready to accept files. In the same Command Prompt that we have used in the previous step, type the following commands
    • Type FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK [ When it reaches 100% you are ready to move to the next step ]
    • Type ASSIGN
    • Type EXIT to get out of DISKPART Command Utility
  2. 2
    Now your Flash Drive is ready for the files. Insert your Windows disc into your drive. In my case, my Disc Drive is I: drive and my FLASH Drive is J:
  3. 3
    Type XCOPY I:\*.* /S/E/F J:\ [ This Command needs to be typed in the same Command Prompt that we have left open after Diskpart.
    • If your Drive letters are correct, after several minutes you will get a message saying the numbers of files successfully copied to your FLASH DRIVE
        

      Warnings

      • Please make sure that no other external or internal hard drives or flash drives are attached to the computer while performing these steps. Only the FLASH DRIVE should be attached to the computer. Failure to do so might result in DATA LOSS in other drives while performing the DISKPART commands

The First Generation of Computer

The history of computing hardware covers the developments from simple devices to aid calculation, to mechanical calculators, punched card data processing and on to modern stored-program computers . Before the 20th century, most calculations were done by humans. Early mechanical tools to help humans with digital calculations were called "calculating machines", by proprietary names, or even as they are now, calculators . The machine operator was called the computer. The first aids to computation were purely mechanical devices which required the operator to set up the initial values of an elementary arithmetic operation, then manipulate the device to obtain the result. The slide rule and, later, analog computers represented numbers in a continuous form, for instance distance along a scale, rotation of a shaft, or a voltage. Numbers could also be represented in the form of digits, automatically manipulated by a mechanical mechanism. Although this approach generall...

About Write Only Memory

In information technology, a write-only memory ( WOM ) is a memory location or register that can be written to but not read. In addition to its literal meaning, the term may be applied to a situation when the data written by one circuit can be read only by other circuitry. The most common occurrence of the latter situation is when a processor writes data to a write-only register of hardware the processor is controlling. The hardware can read the instruction but the processor cannot. This can lead to problems in producing device drivers for the hardware. Write-only memories also find applications in security and cryptography as a means of preventing data being intercepted as it is being decrypted. Hardware uses In 1972, WOM, an antithesis of read-only memory (ROM), was introduced as an inside practical joke perpetrated by Signetics. [ 1 ] However it was soon recognized that this concept actually describes certain functionalities in microprocessor systems. [ 2 ] The...
