Install Windows 7 From a USB Hard Flash/Hard Drive

Windows 7 can run on machines with lower specs than required for Windows Vista, and many users are actually finding it runs better than Windows XP on lower spec machines. It’s also ideal to run on newer netbook machines, but unfortunately many of these do not include a DVD drive so how do you install windows 7 on a machine without a DVD drive?

I spent yesterday researching this exact problem and I managed to install Windows 7 on my LG X110 netbook in around 20 minutes using a 4GB USB Drive. Setting up the USB drive to install Windows 7 was fairly easy in the end, and the installation was quicker than a DVD drive, so this method is perfect if you want to install Windows 7 quickly on several machines.

How To Install Windows 7 From A USB Drive

1. Find a standard 4GB USB Drive and plug it into your machine
2. Click Start in your enter ‘cmd’ in the run field. Once cmd is open type in ‘diskpart’ and a new window will open
3. In the new diskpart window type:

• ‘list disk’ : This lists all the disk drives attached to your machine
• Look for your USB drive and note the number and then type: ’select disk #’, where ‘#’ is your USB disk number
• then type ‘clean’
• then type ‘create partition primary’
• then ’select partition 1?
• then ‘active’
• then ‘format fs=fat32 quick’

Once you’ve finished these steps you then need to copy your Windows 7 files to the USB. To do this you have to mount your Windows 7 ISO as a virtual DVD. Doing this is easy:

1. Install MagicDisk (free)
2. once installed, right-click on MagicDisk in your system tray click on ‘Virtual CD/DVD-Rom’, select your DVD drive
3. then ‘Mount’ and in the dialog window that opens up, select your Windows 7 ISO
4. Now in windows Explorer, click on your DVD drive and you should see all the Windows 7 Files. All you have to do now is copy and paste all the files to your USB key and you have a Windows 7 USB Installation Stick!
5. Install the stick in the PC you want to install Windows 7 on and boot up. Remember to change your bios to allow booting from USB

If you follow the steps above then you should have no problems installing Windows 7 from a USB key. But if you do, leave a comment below, or even better visit the Windows 7 Forum for even better Windows 7 support.

Google reveals new search engine

Google has revealed first details of ‘Caffeine’, the codename for the newest edition of its powerful search engine.

The company says that Caffeine will be the “first step in improving the speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness of search results".

Web developers are now invited to test the new search engine and provide feedback.

Though the front-end of the engine will look no different to the one online today, the tech driving it will speed up indexing search results and create a larger index.

One clear outcome of this will be the reduction in time it takes for the search engine to find new content freshly-published on the web.

Men and Women Use Facebook Differently

The popularity of a Facebook application mostly depends on whether you are male or female, and if it meets the criteria of being "cool", says a latest study.
The research was conducted by Professor Rebekah Russell-Bennett and Dr. Larry Neale from the Queensland University of Technology. They studied the value of applications such as ‘Superpoke’, ‘Mousehunt’ and ‘Scrabble’ which enable people to interact with social networking sites and other users.
According to Russell-Bennett, when it came to discovering what made social networking applications successful, it seemed women wanted to express themselves, while men enjoyed the thrill of social competition.
She added that "Facebook users want to possess and share cool applications that enhance their standing within their network of friends. For women this is about self-expression, for men it is about who is the best."
Russell-Bennett highlighted the importance of the study by saying that from a commercial view, organisations were struggling to understand how to develop a cool application and identify the features that would encourage people to recommend cool applications to friends.
"Popular applications can attract tens of millions of views and uses per month, and given that applications are relatively cheap to develop and are distributed virtually cost-free, this makes them an attractive substitute to traditional advertising."
"Anecdotally we know that companies are spending a lot of money on applications but they aren’t necessarily working," she said.
Now that they are armed with the knowledge of what motivates people to use and recommend applications, companies could better tap into the social networking market, Russell-Bennett added.
The results of this study will be presented at the UK Academy of Marketing conference in Leeds later this month.

Iraqi Launches Nation's First e-shopping Site

An Iraqi IT expert has set up the country’s first e-shopping website for trading anything from cars to game consoles, hoping to build a business that may one day cater for locals and foreign investors alike. Named after an ancient and teeming Baghdad market, Harej, which means "commotion" in Arabic, the site connects buyers and sellers for free – although few goods are on offer so far.
Its creator, Mehdi al-Ajwadi, said the idea would take time to catch on in the almost entirely cash-based economy of a country ravaged by years of conflict, and where only a tiny proportion of the population has access to the Internet. "There is still a long way to go before it’s accepted by the people," Ajwadi told Reuters. "In future, when credit cards become more common and widely used here, we will take a percentage on each trade." Hosted on a British server, www.harej.com runs in Arabic and Kurdish and offers new and used goods in categories including real estate, electronics, books, furniture and vehicles. By far the most popular section is cars, with 16 offered including a BMW X5, Mercedes C300 and GMC Yukon XL. Elsewhere, sellers are flogging a Nokia mobile phone handset, a Sony Playstation 3, and a modest four-bedroom home costing $65,000.
Eventually, Ajwadi hopes to develop a delivery service to get goods to buyers, as well as one day to tap the global market. "In the future we aim to be able to direct foreign investors to investment areas in different provinces of Iraq," he said.
