How to install Windows 7?

[Ferrariman]

Yes, most features could have easily been implemented into Vista, because I think they use the same platform.

But we know how much Microsoft likes their money.

Is there any other way to install an OS on an external hd? If there isn't where can i get an eSata Driver thingy? I cant install windows 7 on my computer. its not that its not possible its that i am not allowed to.

I have installed it today on my second HD, it works great! 15-20 minutes to install it, and got every driver automatically.

The only thing that doesn't work properly is the SetPoint drivers with my Logitech Keyboard, they just simply don't load it. Keyboard works fine, but not every special button. Guess I just have to wait for a Windows 7 compatible SetPoint (i installed the Vista one for now).

It seems i found the first problem in Windows 7: I have many movies in double audio (italian and english) but, even after installing the k lite codec pack, Windows Media Player keeps playing both audio tracks simultaneously.

I know that with VLC everything works fine, but I would like to have it working also on WMP. ^^

Anyone knows how to do it?

in case you forgot, warez still counts as warez. you're not allowed to even mention site names also.

Like The Penguin Bar??

Try with the lil ffdshow icons in the taskbar? IIRC, you can also select the audio track from there.
And VLC sucks

I found a way to make it work, i just changed an option in the Codec Tweak Tool (something regarding the program handling the avi files, the default one was "Microsoft" and i switched it to "Haali").

Grazie cmq per l'aiuto.

VLC non è che mi faccia così schifo, però preferisco che mi vada tutto in WMP visto che il 12 lo trovo veramente ottimo come layout. ^^

Good to know

I've personally found VLC to be a$$, as every anime I've watched on it was TOTALLY HORRIBLE to see. Tearing and artifacts EVERYWHERE. I remember when seeing Evangelion 1.11 (1080p), it downgraded the video quality so much I thought I was seeing it in 480p. Ew

Di nulla

Just use the latest CCCP Beta

K-Lite Codec Pack 64bit for me

Works like magic. CCCP and K-Lite are substantially the same, as they're both based on ffdshow, only that K-Lite is updated much more frequently without staying in permanent beta status

As no one else has mentioned this, thought I would. You don't need to burn windows 7 to dvd to do a clean install. If you just have the files you can actually copy them to a usb stick and boot windows that way, then install to hard disk. It'll work provided you have formatted your usb stick correctly.

What do you mean by formatted correctly?

I just used two programs to do this right now, vLite to make the install fit on my 2 GB usb, and WinSetupFromUSB to format, place it on the usb.

Too bad I installed it on my computer with an nvidia 4 graphics, no driver for that.

I put the iso on a dvd. When i use it and I'm installing windows 7 will it let me choose which drive to install it on like C or F?

Formatted correctly by using diskpart. Note diskpart on XP doesn't see removable drives properly, so it's for Vista and above.

Another method below works on XP.

I dont need that because i found a spare blank dvd and burned it to that. The thing is that I'm wondering if it will let me choose what drive to install to since i'm going to dual boot and keep XP on the same computer.

 

[luke_c]

Of course it will, all OSs give you that option, i, myself have two internal harddrives so i'm doing the same, already have the 7100 build on my second hdd.

I'm actually installing Win7 on VirtuaBox right now, I separated 20Gigs and 1Gig of RAM, how is enough. I have the Ultimate RTM
