    Tell my wife that!
    This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
    Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.

  • How to install Windows 7 from a USB drive!

    This is even easier than installing Windows XP from a USB drive, and will also reduce the time taken to install Windows 7, it took me about 15 minutes!
    The advice in the guide is also applicable to installing Vista.
    You need basically:
    a USB flash drive at least 4GB in size
    a Windows 7 DVD
    To sum up:
    Format your USB drive, with the NTFS filesystem
    Open Command Prompt as an administrator, and run the Bootsect.exe program off the Windows 7 CD to make the USB drive bootable
    Copy the contents of the Windows 7 DVD to the USB drive
    Restart your PC, press F11 (or whichever key it is) to access the Boot menu, and select your USB drive to boot from

    I have done this and it is simple.
    I cleaned and (re)formated an 8GB flash drive under Windows7 using diskpart.  I chose quick format and a fat filesystem.  It doesn't need to be ntfs.  I had diskpart mark the partition active.  I copied the DVD contents to the flash drive.  I also made a folder on it for motherboard drivers.
    After that, I booted the drive on a new machine.  Windows7 setup came up, and didn't find any hard drives, other than the USB flash drive.  I clicked the button to load drivers, and pointed it to the folder I had copied them to on the flash.  Windows installed without problems.
    Hi bnborg..Do u mind sharing with me your motherboard driver folder? I have the MSI U135DX Netbook and each time I hit the button to install Windows 7 it asks me for some mobo driver...Think i might need it to get tru with a successful install..

  • How do install Tiger from an external USB drive?

    I'm trying to upgrade from 10.2.8 to Tiger. How do I install Tiger from my external USB DVD drive? Tiger only comes on DVD and my G4 only has a CD ROM as an internal drive. Is there a way to boot from an external USB DVD drive?

    bamim2,
    you obviously just cracked some known hardware restrictions that not even Apple knew how to do: Don't start up from an external USB device.
    The procedure you described is the standard procedure for the startup manager. However, as Apple's article explains this does NOT work with USB-devices on PowerPC (G3, G4, G5) based Macs.

  • How to make bootable iso from download

    how to make bootable iso from download

    This one - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5587
    1st:  This is NOT a .ISO file!!
    2nd.  It is a .MSI file which is a Microsoft Installer file.
    3rd:  Read the instructions:
    Install Instructions:
    Click the Download button to start the download.
    Do one of the following:
    To start the installation immediately, click Run.
    To save the download to your computer for installation at a later time, click
    Save.
    To cancel the installation, click Cancel.
    When installation completes a file called readme.txt will open to provide instructions for burning a home computer restore CD. The file is also located
    next to the ISO image file for later reference.
    4th: If you are unable to read and follow instructions, there is nothing anyone in these forums can do to assist you.  You must be capable of reading and following instructions! 
    Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. ”
    OK, well sorry to disagree with you but:-
    1. Using windows 7, the download does not provide a save but only a run option.
    2. In the MS predownload instructions you copied it refers to the readme text next to "the ISO image"
    3. This is a copy of the read me file attached:-
    "This ReadMe document is one of the Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD files. Unless you changed the installation location during setup, the Home Computer Restore CD files and license terms are located in one of the following folders:
    * On Windows Vista: %HOMEPATH%\Documents\Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD (Dual Boot)
    * On Windows XP: %HOMEPATH%\My Documents\Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD (Dual Boot)
    To use the Home Computer Restore CD software, you must write the ISO image file (restorecd_dual.iso) to a blank CD. A CD/DVD burner is required to write
    the ISO image file to the CD. Usually a CD/DVD burner includes the software that you need to write ISO image files. Follow the instructions with your burner software, and then select the option to write an ISO image, not the option to write
    individual files. Note that you cannot write the ISO image by using Windows Explorer to copy the file to the CD-ROM drive.
    Burning the ISO image creates a bootable CD. To restore your home computer, boot the computer from the CD and follow the instructions.
    Microsoft may update the Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD software. You can download the latest version from the Microsoft Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=109282.
    If you want to review the license terms for the Windows Home Server Home Computer Restore CD, the file EULA_DUAL.TXT can be found in the same folder"
    As you will see it refers to the downloaded .iso file. Nowhere is there a reference to a msi.  As there was only a run function on the downloaded file, it could not be saved. How is an ordinary Windows user meant to interpret the instructs
    if the download function does not work? What you do is try and follow the instructions and produce a load of frigging coffee mats, as it seems did many of the posters on this thread. Are we all illiterate?
    If Microsoft could think in the way of a user it would help a lot of people.
    So Rick Dee, please inform me how I misread the instructions?

  • How can i Install an AIR application on USB drive?

    I am new to AIR application development.I want to develop a application which could run from an external USB drive(flash drives). I wanted to know if it is possible to install the application on the USB drive.If so what is the procedure.

    That is completely false about Windows. Windows does not automatically get infected with anything the minute you connect it to the net. My god where do you come up with that? I run several Windows PCs and none of them run any malware or anti virus programs and none of them have ever been infected with anything and they are always connected to the Internet. I'm typing this reply from one such Windows PC.
    It's all about how you use your computer not the OS it runs. Sure Windows is a much bigger target for the scum of the world to attack as it has 90% of the market so the people that write the viruses and malware programs do it for a system they have a better chance of infecting.
    But to ***-U-Me that just because you have Windows and you go to the Net that it will get infected with something is just a Bold Face Lie. And I suspect you know that.
    So why not post truths instead of the Lie in your post.
    By the way Mac's can also be infected as has been proven recently. So no matter what OS you run you can get infected. Now that is not a Lie.

    The two responses above are right- there is no Windows Explorer version that will install in Mountain Lion.
    There are a couple of things you can try that might work, short of installing Windows on your machine, either in a virtual machine (like virtual box or parallels) or with bootcamp. Personally, I hate either of those options, just because windows is such a magnet for malware and viruses. The second you expose windows to the internet it becomes infected.

    Do you have a USB stick you could copy the image to? Where I live, a CD costs $0.50 at most. To put that into perspective. A coffee costs a $1.00. Either a CD costs a lot more than a coffee where you live or are you telling me you'd rather get a lot of grey hair than buy half a coffee?
    Sorry I can't be of much help. I don't know how to do this method of installation. If you're desperate, you could try making an extra partition, and trying something with that. Take a look at these:

  • How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?

    How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?
    I installed a new hard drive from best buy for my "vintage" MacBook laptop.  When I turned on the laptop and the flashing folder appeared, I need help?
    I looked online for some clues.  I put in the software disk I received when I bought the disk but I cannot select a destination volume to install the software.  I tired to partition the drive within disk utility but there was an input/output error.  Should I just plug in my external hard drive and hope everything reboots like magic ?
    Thank you for any help you can give

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

    iirc, you won't be able to or at least you shouldn't, it will take much longer than using a usb install

    use only a +8gb USB2 flash drive
    disconnect ALL devices except kb, mouse
    STEPS
    do a PRAM reset
    open disk utility, confirm you have 1 partition (‘mac HD’ unless you renamed it) and repair permissions TWICE
    dl a windows ISO
    insert your usb flash drive and open boot camp assistant, choose all options making sure you used the new ISO just dl'd
    if you get an error that the windows support software is unavailable, manually dl it here, put it on a separate USB2 drive and install by clicking setup.exe after windows is installed

    I am about to have an old Macbook with a new blank HDD and an optical drive that doesn't accept CDs or DVDs.  I know if I could make a bootable iso, or put an iso of the Snow Leopard disc I have on a bootable thumb drive, I could install SNow Leopard on this Macbook and give it a new lease on life.
    I haven't been able to find info on how to do this.
    Can anyone out there help with a link or bit of advice?
