Today I spent almost whole day trying to solve a problem. The problem was “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click “OK” to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.” In retro-aspect it was just a little registry that needed to be changed. Here [...]

Voodler
About three weeks back, I got a Voddler ID. Voddler is a Video/Movie streaming service built on top of p2p. Most older titles are free with ads, while newer titles cost couple of bucks. It seems to be a great way to reduce pirecy (while pirecy helps increasing sales). So far it is only availebe [...]
Windows 7 on ELMS
Last week i downloaded Windows 7 Professional from ELMS (student part of MSDNAA). Win7 came out much faster then Vista did. For Vista it took more then 7 months after RTM release, and about 1 month after public release. While Win7 came within one month of RTM release. I am just wondering what has changed, [...]

Boot Windows PE 2/2.1/3
With Microsoft releasing Windows PE to general public, booting from USB has been child’s play, and a lot of system rescue tasks has been made easy. For instance you can install Windows NT 5.x (2000/XP/2003) without using any sophisticating tools. And installing Windows on a DVD/CD drive less (i.e. Asus Eee) PC couldn’t be easier. [...]
Test Booting VHD from USB
Conclusion: It is not supported!.. It looks like you need more then just bootmgr for booting a vhd. And these components will only be available on Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise Plus Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2. Plus i think it is enough with WIM support under bootmgr. Windows does not support booting to [...]
Install Windows 7 with UNetBootin
I installed both Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 RC1 with UNetBootin (with a little tweak). I was successful to boot WinPE 2, WinPE 2.1 and WinRE 3 RC1 with UnetBootin. I would guess Windows 7 RTM will have no problem either. Instructions (Installing from ISO): Download UNetBootin Download Win7 Syslinux Hack Use UNetBootin to [...]
