All of your videos are awesome and your audio podcast is great as well. I would love to see some more videos, but no biggie. The consistency of your audio podcast and live stream I guess somewhat makes up for the videos. :) I really loved your iPhone related videos.

I was able to successfully install Windows 7 on my brand new Eee PC 1005ha. I did find and easier method to mount the windows 7 ISO: 1. Google PowerISO; then download and install 2. because PowerISO works with the windows shell, just right click on your ISO file and say "mount" 3. Enjoy! Thank you Bwana for all of your help.

For people who ask about step 11, if you disk has a different number just change disk# not also partition#. For instance, if your disk is number 5 the the command should be: mbrwiz /disk=5 /active=1 Thanks Bwana.

External hard drives are not supported, however. @VDIAS: to clean your USB drive completely, do the following: 1. Open an Administrator command prompt by searching for cmd in the Start Menu search box, then right-click the cmd item and select Run as Administrator. Accept the dialog and continue. 2. Type diskpart and press enter 3. Type LIST DISK. This will show all your drives, including flash drives, and their sizes. 4. Find the drive which is yours, and type in the corresponding name like so: SELECT DISK 2 (if your flash drive is disk 2). If correct, diskpart will inform you that Disk 2 (or whichever drive you entered) is now selected. 5. To be sure you have the right drive, type in LIST PARTITION. It will show you the partitions on the disk. Confirm this is the correct drive before continuing. NOTE: If you want to be doubly sure you have the right disk (and I recommend you do check if even slightly unsure), click the Start Menu, right-click Computer, then click Manage. In there, go to the Storage section and click Disk Management. The disk numbers are shown there, along with their labels and drive letters, where relevant. 6. This next step will destroy any partitions and boot sectors on the drive, thereby rendering it uninitialized and any data on it inaccessible, so be sure you have the correct disk selected, and you've backed up anything on the flash drive you want to keep. 7. If you're absolutely sure you want to proceed, type the single command CLEAN into diskpart. After a few moments, you'll be informed your drive has been cleaned. 8. Repartition it again as you require, using your favourite tool. That's it, basically. Hope that helps.
