Diskpart If You Want a Flash Drive to Be Bootable, You Have to Use a Utility Like Diskpart to Do That Diskpart If you want a flash drive to be bootable, you have to use a utility like diskpart to do that. Then copying an install DVD to it will make it act as bootable install media for Windows. A. Make a bootable flash drive by opening a Command Prompt, 'Run as Administrator', to run these commands: diskpart select disk 2 ('list disk' to determine number) clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=fat32 assign exit B. Copy DVD to the Flash Drive xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ DiskPart is one of the most powerful Windows. It allows you to accurately manage the partitions, resizing them, their assignment and their formatting. It can be incorporated into a script, and most importantly, may itself execute scripts. It is essential to restructure the USB key and is a formidable weapon to automate deployment of Windows on parking machines. Before you can use DiskPart commands on a disk, partition, or volume, you must first list and then select the object to give it focus. When an object has focus, any DiskPart commands that you type act on that object. You can list the available objects and determine an object's number or drive letter by using the list disk, list volume, and list partition commands. The list disk and list volume commands display all disks and volumes on the computer. However, the list partition command displays only partitions on the disk that have focus. When you use the list commands, an asterisk (*) appears next to the object with focus. You select an object by its number or drive letter, such as disk 0, partition 1, volume 3, or volume C. Warning The DISKPART command is for an informed public that already have a minimum knowledge about partitioning and formatting disks and the use of command-mode "command prompt". Misuse of this command can cause the loss of your data on your disks. We do not recommend beginners to use DISKPART. Most DiskPart functions are available as user- friendly Windows interface by clicking the right button on "My Computer" (or "Computer" on Vista) and selecting "Manage from the context menu" before selecting the module "Disk Management". DISKPART is present in XP, Vista and Windows 7. However, the XP version is more limited because it does not offer advanced features for resizing partitions, for example. To start DISKPART, do the following: - On Windows XP Go to Start> All Programs> Accessories Click Command Prompt. - For Windows Vista/Windows 7 Go to Start> All Programs> Accessories Right click on the Command Prompt icon Select Run as administrator from the context menu. Trouble shoot Startup Repair Tool in Windows 7 A lot of times if Windows can’t boot properly because of a hardware change, unexpected shutdown, or other errors, it will come up with the Windows Error Recovery screen. This gives you the option to go into Startup Repair or try to boot Windows normally. If Windows won’t boot properly and doesn’t give you the Error Recovery screen, you can get into it manually. Power the computer completely down, and when you power it up again, keep hitting the F8 key until you see the Advanced Boot Options screen. Once you get to this screen, highlight Repair Your Computer and hit Enter. You will see the message…Windows is loading files… Next choose the right keyboard input method. You’ll need to log on as a local user, or as administrator if you want to access the command prompt too. Now you have different System Recovery Options to choose from. Click on Startup Repair to begin the troubleshooting process as it can detect and fix problems. Startup Repair begins the scan and attempts to repair the system. Be patient while it finishes, sometimes it can take a while for it to complete. In this particular instance a System Restore is recommended. You don’t have to use this option, you can cancel it and allow the tool to keep trying to fix the issue. The System Restore process starts and returns system settings to a time when it worked correctly. You should have a few different date ranges to choose from, but you’ll want to select the most recent one. After it’s been restored, you’ll get a message indicating it was successful and you need to Restart. After it’s been restored, you’ll get a message indicating it was successful and you need to Restart. The option to send the error details to Microsoft.

Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the same time. Unlike its predecessor, which introduced a large number of new features, Windows 7 was intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows line, with the goal of being fully compatible with applications and hardware with which Windows Vista is already compatible.[6] Presentations given by Microsoft in 2008 focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup,[7] and performance improvements. Some applications that have been included with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, including Windows Calendar, Windows Mail, Windows Movie Maker, and Windows Photo Gallery, are not included in Windows 7;[8][9] most are instead offered separately as part of the free Windows Live Essentials suite.[10] Contents [hide] • 1 Development o 1.1 Goals • 2 Features o 2.1 New and changed features o 2.2 Removed features • 3 Antitrust regulatory attention o 3.1 Editions • 4 Reception • 5 Editions • 6 Marketing • 7 Hardware requirements • 8 See also • 9 References • 10 External links [edit] Development Main article: Development of Windows 7 Originally, a version of Windows codenamed Blackcomb was planned as the successor to Windows XP (codename Whistler) and Windows Server 2003. Major features were planned for Blackcomb, including an emphasis on searching and querying data and an advanced storage system named WinFS to enable such scenarios. However, an interim, minor release, codenamed "Longhorn," was announced for 2003, delaying the development of Blackcomb.[11] By the middle of 2003, however, Longhorn had acquired some of the features originally intended for Blackcomb. After three major viruses exploited flaws in Windows operating systems within a short time period in 2003, Microsoft changed its development priorities, putting some of Longhorn's major development work on hold while developing new service packs for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Development of Longhorn (Windows Vista) was also restarted, and thus delayed, in August 2004. A number of features were cut from Longhorn.[12] Blackcomb was renamed Vienna in early 2006[13] and again Windows 7 in 2007.[14] In 2008, it was announced that Windows 7 would also be the official name of the operating system.[15][16] There has been some confusion over naming the product Windows 7,[17] while versioning it as 6.1 to indicate its similar build to Vista and increase compatibility with applications that only check major version numbers,[18] similar to Windows 2000 and Windows XP both having 5.x version numbers.[19] The first external release to select Microsoft partners came in January 2008 with Milestone 1, build 6519.[20] At PDC 2008, Microsoft demonstrated Windows 7 with its reworked taskbar. Copies of Windows 7 build 6801 were distributed at the end of the conference; however, the demonstrated taskbar was disabled in this build. On December 27, 2008, Windows 7 Beta was leaked onto the Internet via BitTorrent.[21] According to a performance test by ZDNet,[22] Windows 7 Beta beat both Windows XP and Vista in several key areas; including boot and shutdown time and working with files, such as loading documents. Other areas did not beat XP; including PC Pro benchmarks for typical office activities and video editing, which remain identical to Vista and slower than XP.[23] On January 7, 2009, the 64-bit version of the Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) was leaked onto the web, with some torrents being infected with a trojan.[24][25] At CES 2009, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the Windows 7 Beta, build 7000, had been made available for download to MSDN and TechNet subscribers in the format of an ISO image.[26] The Beta was to be publicly released January 9, 2009, and Microsoft initially planned for the download to be made available to 2.5 million people on this date. However, access to the downloads was delayed because of high traffic.[27] The download limit was also extended, initially until January 24, then again to February 10.

  • Delivering Real-Time Information with Microsoft Windows 7 Desktop
    SAS Global Forum 2011 Reporting and Information Visualization Paper 280-2011 New Light through Old Windows: Delivering Real Time Information with Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets David Shannon, Amadeus Software, Oxford, UK ABSTRACT In this paper the author demonstrates how to deliver SAS® information directly to the information consumer’s desktop with Microsoft Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets. Displaying headline analytics from continually updating data, such as an active marketing campaign, or simply the status of your SAS server are just two possibilities for exploiting the Gadget feature. From Windows 7, Gadgets are an integral component in the operating system presentation. Real time (or near real time) information can be delivered by integrating a SAS session via web services or the SAS Integration Technologies product. This paper presents the steps for integrating SAS and Windows Gadgets. Worked examples, with source code, are demonstrated along with options for deployment. Finally, the pros and cons of delivering information this way are considered. Those attending this paper are not expected to have experience of creating Desktop Gadgets, however an appreciation of web pages, object orientated programming and the SAS Integration Technologies product will be useful to take the most from this paper. INTRODUCTION This paper examines a method of delivering short summaries of information directly to user desktops with Microsoft Windows Desktop Gadgets, referred to as Gadgets throughout this paper. The paper begins by understanding what Gadgets are and how they work. The discussion then describes how to integrate Gadgets with SAS by using Microsoft Jscript to call a web service or SAS Integration Technologies.

In particular, tackling the mobility of these devices, this specification allows discovering services dynamically and accessing them. So, DPWS seems to be successor to UPnP, relying on a subset of the Web Services standards and SOAP messages over UDP in order to deal with resource constraints. The founders of this specification are Microsoft as well as the actors of the SIRENA European ITEA project, who aimed at leveraging SOA architectures to seamlessly interconnect embedded devices in the domain of industrial applications, telecommunications and automation. This project was a first promising contribution. As a follow-up to this, these actors are working on (1) extensions to add more features, like reliability and security, (2) new implementations to deal with a higher diversity of devices, from tiny devices to servers, and (3) tools to facilitate incorporating DPWS in other new technologies, and to improve device management in Windows or e-Management in factories. In this document, we survey the DPWS specifications, the existing implementations, and the related projects that apply or improve DPWS.

  • Windows Tool Reference
    AppendixChapter A1 Windows Tool Reference Windows Management Tools This appendix lists sets of Windows management, maintenance, configuration, and monitor- ing tools that you may not be familiar with. Some are not automatically installed by Windows Setup but instead are hidden away in obscure folders on your Windows Setup DVD or CD- ROM. Others must be downloaded or purchased from Microsoft. They can be a great help in using, updating, and managing Windows. We’ll discuss the following tool kits: ■ Standard Tools—Our pick of handy programs installed by Windows Setup that we think are unappreciated and not well-enough known. ■ Support Tools—A set of useful command-line and GUI programs that can be installed from your Windows Setup DVD or CD-ROM. ■ Value-Added Tools—Several more sets of utilities hidden away on the Windows Setup CD-ROM. ■ Windows Ultimate Extras and PowerToys for XP—Accessories that can be downloaded for free from microsoft.com. The PowerToys include TweakUI, a program that lets you make adjustments to more Windows settings than you knew existed. ■ Resource Kits—A set of books published by Microsoft for some versions of Windows that includes a CD-ROM containing hundreds of utility programs. What you may not have known is that in some cases you can download the Resource Kit program toolkits with- out purchasing the books. ■ Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications (SUA)—A package of network services and command-line tools that provide a nearly complete UNIX environment. It can be installed only on Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise, and Windows Server 2003.

  • Emaintenance Related Ontologies
    Technical Report eMaintenance Related Ontologies By Mustafa Aljumaili Karina Wandt Under the Supervision of Ramin Karim Division of Operation, Maintenance and Acoustics Engineering Luleå University of Technology, 2012. 1 Preface Standards, data exchange models and communication protocols are important aspects in order to achieve data interoperability between different systems in Maintenance, operations and inside an organization hierarchy. In addition, the demand of reusable software components has also increased significantly in industrial field that lead to research accelerating and work development. Therefore, a lot of challenges need to be faced in order to achieve interoperability. Some of them are how to standardize interfaces between components and how to solve the difficulty of data integration among the different components and systems. When developing eMaintenance solutions as support to maintenance decision-making, integration architecture for data exchange between different data sources is important. The design of integration architecture is highly depended on structure of the mechanism that defines the structure of the data elements and also describes the relation between these elements, i.e. ontology. However, ontologies have a high impact on the integration architecture of eMaintenance solutions and affect its efficiency. Hence, this report aims to investigate the state-of-the-art in ontologies related to maintenance. This technical report is to investigate the state-of-the-art with respect to ontologies aimed for maintenance data exchange. The aim of the study is to analyse and explore available standards for data exchange in eMaintenance solutions and data management system in both production and Maintenance. The report describes the characteristics and also main usage domain for the investigated ontologies.

  • Secure Remote Service Execution for Web Media Streaming
    Secure Remote Service Execution for Web Media Streaming vorgelegt von Dipl.-Ing. Alexandra Mikityuk geb. in Leningrad, UdSSR von der Fakultät IV – Elektrotechnik und Informatik der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften - Dr.-Ing. - genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Thomas Magedanz, Technische Universität Berlin Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Jean-Pierre Seifert, Technische Universität Berlin Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Jean-Claude Dufourd, ParisTech Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ina Schieferdecker, Technische Universität Berlin Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 29. August 2017 Berlin 2017 D 83 Abstract Through continuous advancements in streaming and Web technologies over the past decade, the Web has become a platform for media delivery. Web standards like HTML5 have been designed accordingly, allowing for the delivery of applications, high-quality streaming video, and hooks for interoperable content protection. Efficient video encoding algorithms such as AVC/HEVC and streaming protocols such as MPEG-DASH have served as additional triggers for this evolution. Users now employ Web browsers as a tool for receiving streaming media and rendering Web applications, and browsers have been embedded into almost every kind of connected device. The drawback of these technical developments and quick rate of user adoption is that modern Web browsers have introduced significant constraints on devices’ capabilities. First, the computational requirements have risen continuously, resulting in a cycle where modern devices can be nearly outdated after a year or two. Second, as the integration of browser technologies is a complicated matter, not every platform provides the same performance. Different Operating Systems (OSs), chipsets and software engines are the main reasons for this difference in performance.
