Install Windows 7 directly from hard disk without using any Secondary medium

You don’t have to waste a DVD to install Windows 7.You can install it directly from the hard disk by extracting the contents of the downloaded iso file.

UPDATE:The direct download links to Windows 7 have been leaked

One of the simplest method of installing Windows 7 is by mounting the downloaded iso using Daemon Tools and then running the setup from the mounted virtual drive.But problem here is that the setup skips the Pre Installation Environment .So you cannot install Windows 7 to a virtual hard disk.

I found a way of installing Windows 7 directly from the hard disk by extracting the contents of the downloaded iso file.This method loads the Pre-Installation Environment,so you can access the command prompt ( By pressing Shift+F10 ) before installation and make any customizations.

Download the Windows 7 iso from Microsoft.com
Download and install Peazip

Windows XP

Here we are going to replace Windows XP bootloader with Windows 7 bootloader.The new Windows 7 bootloader loads the Windows 7 setup files.After installation ,the option to boot into XP will be automatically added to the boot menu.

1.Open the downloaded iso file in PeaZip.

2.Extract the following folders and files to the C drive(your System Drive i.e the primary partition)
boot
sources
bootmgr

3.Go to command prompt
cd c:boot
bootsect /nt60 SYS

3.Restart your computer.Windows 7 installation will start.Just follow the steps on the screen and install Windows 7.Make sure you install Windows 7 to different partition(Do not try to install in C:)

Windows XP and Windows Vista configured in dual Boot

Here we are going to replace Windows Vista bootloader with Windows 7 bootloader.The new Windows 7 bootloader loads the Windows 7 setup files.After installation ,the option to boot into XP will be automatically added to the boot menu.But the option to boot Windows Vista will be missing.So we have to manually add an entry to boot to Windows Vista

1.Boot into Windows XP

2.Backup and Delete the Boot folder and the bootmgr file from the C: drive (System Drive)

3.Open the downloaded iso file in PeaZip

4.Extract the following folders and files to the C drive(your System Drive i.e the primary partition)
boot
sources
bootmgr

5.Restart your computer.Windows 7 installation will start.Just follow the steps on the screen and install Windows 7.Make sure you install Windows 7 to different partition(Do not try to install in C:)

Follow the steps outlined in Adding Windows Vista to Windows 7 boot menu at the end of this article.

Windows Vista

Here we are going to replace Windows Vista bootloader with Windows 7 bootloader.The new Windows 7 bootloader loads the Windows 7 setup files.After installation the option to boot Windows Vista will be missing from the boot menu.So we have to manually add an entry to boot to Windows Vista

1.Open the downloaded iso file in PeaZip

2.Extract the following folders and files to a temporary folder c:temp
boot
bootmgr

3.Extract the sources folder to the C drive(your System Drive i.e the primary partition)

Replace Windows Vista bootloader with Windows 7 bootloader by overwriting BootMgr and Boot folder located in ‘C:’

4.Boot into Windows Recovery Environment or WinPE. using Windows Vista Bootable DVD

After selecting the operating system open the Elevated Command Prompt and type the following commands.

5.C:>attrib bootmgr –s –h –r (Note: C: is the Windows Vista OS Partition)

Attribute command with –s –h –r changes the System, Hidden and Read Only attributes of a given file.

6.C:>cd temp (Note: temp is the temporary folder containing the Windows 7 bootloader files)

7.C:temp>xcopy /y /h bootmgr c:bootmgr

8.C:temp>xcopy /y /h boot c:

9.Restart your computer and Windows 7 installation will begin.

After installing Windows 7,the option to boot Windows Vista will be missing from the boot menu.

Adding Windows Vista to Windows 7 boot menu

1.Boot into windows 7.

The drive letters in Windows 7 will be different(.So check the drive letter of your Windows Vista install.

2.Press Winkey+R to open Run Dialog.

3.Type cmd and press enter to open command prompt with elevated priveleges.

4.Type the following commands.

bcdedit

C:>bcdedit

Windows Boot Manager

5.Type the following to create a Boot Loader based upon the default boot loader.

bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Vista”

C:>bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Vista”
The entry was successfully copied to {59cad9f6-de83-12cd-9d9e-c59ac6c2613b}.

6.Type the following to change the device to D: (the drive letter of the Vista Partition as seen from Windows 7). Note the identifier is the one generated by step 5. This id is different for every boot loader. You have to replace it with the actual output when you create the boot loader.

bcdedit /set {59cad9f6-de83-12cd-9d9e-c59ac6c2613b} device partition=D:

7.Reboot the machine and you’ll see the option to boot to Vista.

NASA's Kepler Announces 11 Planetary Systems Hosting 26 Planets

MOFFET FIELD, Calif. -- NASA's Kepler mission has discovered 11 new planetary systems hosting 26 confirmed planets. These discoveries nearly double the number of verified planets and triple the number of stars known to have more than one planet that transits, or passes in front of, the star. Such systems will help astronomers better understand how planets form.

The planets orbit close to their host stars and range in size from 1.5 times the radius of Earth to larger than Jupiter. Fifteen are between Earth and Neptune in size. Further observations will be required to determine which are rocky like Earth and which have thick gaseous atmospheres like Neptune. The planets orbit their host star once every six to 143 days. All are closer to their host star than Venus is to our sun.

"Prior to the Kepler mission, we knew of perhaps 500 exoplanets across the whole sky," said Doug Hudgins, Kepler program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Now, in just two years staring at a patch of sky not much bigger than your fist, Kepler has discovered more than 60 planets and more than 2,300 planet candidates. This tells us that our galaxy is positively loaded with planets of all sizes and orbits."

Kepler identifies planet candidates by repeatedly measuring the change in brightness of more than 150,000 stars to detect when a planet passes in front of the star. That passage casts a small shadow toward Earth and the Kepler spacecraft.

Each of the new confirmed planetary systems contains two to five closely spaced transiting planets. In tightly packed planetary systems, the gravitational pull of the planets on each other causes some planets to accelerate and some to decelerate along their orbits. The acceleration causes the orbital period of each planet to change. Kepler detects this effect by measuring the changes, or so-called Transit Timing Variations (TTVs

Planetary systems with TTVs can be verified without requiring extensive ground-based observations, accelerating confirmation of planet candidates. The TTV detection technique also increases Kepler's ability to confirm planetary systems around fainter and more distant stars.

Five of the systems (Kepler-25, Kepler-27, Kepler-30, Kepler-31 and Kepler-33) contain a pair of planets where the inner planet orbits the star twice during each orbit of the outer planet. Four of the systems (Kepler-23, Kepler-24, Kepler-28 and Kepler-32) contain a pairing where the outer planet circles the star twice for every three times the inner planet orbits its star.

"These configurations help to amplify the gravitational interactions between the planets, similar to how my sons kick their legs on a swing at the right time to go higher," said Jason Steffen, the Brinson postdoctoral fellow at Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics in Batavia, Ill., and lead author of a paper confirming four of the systems.

Kepler-33, a star that is older and more massive than our sun, had the most planets. The system hosts five planets, ranging in size from 1.5 to 5 times that of Earth. All of the planets are located closer to their star than any planet is to our sun.

The properties of a star provide clues for planet detection. The decrease in the star's brightness and duration of a planet transit, combined with the properties of its host star, present a recognizable signature. When astronomers detect planet candidates that exhibit similar signatures around the same star, the likelihood of any of these planet candidates being a false positive is very low.

"The approach used to verify the Kepler-33 planets shows the overall reliability is quite high," said Jack Lissauer, planetary scientist at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., and lead author of the paper on Kepler-33. "This is a validation by multiplicity."

These discoveries are published in four different papers in the Astrophysical Journal and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Ames manages Kepler's ground system development, mission operations and science data analysis. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., managed the Kepler mission's development.

World's Most Powerful X-Ray Laser Super-Heats Aluminum Foil to 3.6 Million Degrees

Creating and observing super-hot solid plasma could lead to a greater understanding of fusion processes

SLAC Chamber This photograph shows the interior of a Linac Coherent Light Source SXR experimental chamber, set up for an investigation to create and measure a form of extreme, 2-million-degree matter known as “hot, dense matter.” The central part of the frame contains the holder for the material that will be converted by the powerful LCLS laser into hot, dense matter. To the left is an XUV spectrometer and to the right is a small red laser set up for alignment and positioning. University of Oxford/Sam Vinko

In two separate studies, the world’s most powerful X-ray laser has been used to build the first atomic X-ray laser pulse, as well as to superheat and control a clump of 2-million-degree matter. The atomic laser could be used to watch biological molecules at work, while the creation of hot dense matter could be used to understand the processes of nuclear fusion.

Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory used the Linac Coherent Light Source, a rapid-fire X-ray laser, to flash-heat a small piece of aluminum foil and create a solid plasma known as hot dense matter. A team led by Sam Vinko, a postdoc at Oxford University, took the temperature of this matter — 2 million degrees Celsius, or 3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit — and the whole process took about a trillionth of a second. The measurements will lead to more accurate models of how hot dense matter forms and behaves. These models could help scientists understand — and maybe someday recreate — the process of nuclear fusion that fuels the sun, according to a news release from SLAC.

Scientists can create plasma from gases using conventional lasers, but you need a super-powerful laser to create a plasma from a solid material. The LCLS’ ultra-short wavelengths of light can penetrate a dense solid and look at it, all at the same time. The LCLS is underground in Palo Alto and covers a distance of a little more than a mile. It can create intense bursts of X-ray radiation more than a billion times brighter than any other laser source.

In a separate study, the LCLS was harnessed to build the first-ever atomic-scale X-ray laser, a feat that could open up a whole new field of atomic imaging.

Since the laser was invented more than 50 years ago, scientists have tried to lase at shorter wavelengths, but it’s difficult to do because shorter wavelengths require faster atom pumping. But free-electron lasers in the X-ray range can produce superfast pulses of intense energy, so this pumping is now feasible. Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used the LCLS to give a pumped-up kick to a cluster of neon atoms. This knocked some electrons up to higher energy states and created a cascade of X-ray emissions — a mini atomic-sized laser.

The atomic laser’s light is much more pure, and its pulses are much shorter, so it could be used to tease out sharp details of atomic-scale interactions and phase changes that would otherwise be impossible to see.

Both papers were published today in Nature.
