Install Windows 7 from USB/External Hardisk

We are not much into installing Windows via a USB Device(we were had no need). Now Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) can be downloaded as an .iso file (A standard disk image format).

If you dont have a DVD Drive(Who uses a DVD Drive Now!!!), dont worry. You are a minute away from knowing how to install Windows without DVD Drive or with USB or what ever it may be( Dont chop my flow).

Before starting make up your BIOS to allow your USB deivce to Boot.



Steps:

1. Insert you External HDD or USB Drive

2. Right Click MyComputer.

3. Click Manage.

4. Scroll Down and Select Disk Management.

5. Now Extract the Windows .iso file to the Exteernal Drive (Magic ISO, Ultr ISO can do the Job)

(Warning : Dont mount the .iso file in an Emulation Drive and Copy the Contents. That wont work as the boot record wont get Copied)

6. Right Click your USB Device and Select Mark Active Partition.

(Warning : Do this Only if you are going to install atonce you do this step. Else YOur Current Wont boot as the Active Partition is Moved. If you Planned to install later do this step later)

7. Now Reboot the System , the Installation Should Work Fine.

2012 End of the world?

This is a hottest question around the world and am no exception for that.Still there is no clear evidence about what is going to happen.Theoretically , the Mayan calendar ends.After that a new Era emerges, which will be similar to restarting the world. Assuming this as just an assumption. The Assumption is based on the fact that scientists believe that, the planets and other bodies in space, might undergo physical changes (Spiritual in case of Astrologers) which might cause a natural calamity. The Universal fact says " EARTH WILL BE ALIVE AS LONG AS THE SUN IS ". So it is clear that, world will not end, but we will face an end. The actual meaning of the phrase " WORLD ENDS " is , the huge mass called EARTH should explode and scatter into the space as small pieces losing its gravitational force. So there wont be any chance for living creatures to exist once again. But research and prediction say, EARTH will be restored after a huge disaster. Living creatures will n...

HTC Wildfire - Display ,Touch Sensor and Accelerometer

Just went through the online reviews before buying HTC Wildfire to see everyone cursing the display that "Its Pathetic". That is because of the resolution. The screen is large enough( 3.2" ) to show everything, but the resolution is just 320 x 240 pixels. But this is in no way a set back. Just optimize the home screens and other areas as you want ,to bring out the best out of it. I even felt that, the OSK (On Screen keyboard) occupies , half of the screen when text-ing (new word huh! i mean messaging), but now i got used with it and even in many other phones which have higher resolutions the OSK will definitely dominate. Touch Sensor The first thing i want to tell is there is no irritating double tap , that we see in mobiles like Nokia 5800 .The touch sensor is awesome and some times over sensitive. Whenever i take a snap of something and hand over the device to some one, they touch some part of screen while receiving it and finally they complaint that they see a diff...
