Windows 7 install

Let's just say that my experience was less then thrilling. The first problem I ran into was my DVD burner was not burning DVDs. The problem with that is the download comes in a ISO file format, and the only device capable of reading an ISO format is the DVD player. I was able to download a free copy of Clone Drive which created virtual DVD drives. Now I am able to install Windows 7. I clicked on the Setup.exe file at about 4:15 pm on 5/16/2009, when I went to bed at 10:30pm, the same day, the installation was still not complete. I am going to say it is because I only have 1GB of RAM which is the minimum. During the install I was informed there were two incompatible pieces of software on my system, interestingly enough, both were Microsoft products - Lifecam and SQL Server 20005.

I'm glad you commented on the ISO file only being read on a DVD player. I need to use OPHTCRACK to retrieve one of my clients administrator password that the owner completely forgot (heh) and it is in an ISO format. Now I will be prepared for the possible situation of the system not having a DVD player, which I assumed. And we all know what happens when we assume...

Hmmm.... I don't think it's going to work for me in this situation.. I need to boot off of the ISO disk... did you have the current OS running and then mount the virtual DVD and run the install disk for Windows 7? I'm thinking that's the case, and if so, it probably won't work for me. Ah well. Just another reason to invoice a DVD drive! Thanks for the tip, though, I may need it in the future.

Southern Maryland Give Camp 2011

  A month ago we started accepting applications from non-profits that would like our help at the 2nd annual SoMDGC and I am pleased to report that we currently have 5 applications. This is about where we were last year so I am not stress to much about it. The really exciting part is that we have 10 (not including the planning committee) volunteers that have signed up and I have not even, formally, announced that we are looking for volunteers. I'll have to send an email blast to everyone that participated last year that we are formally looking. I have been get some great input from last years volunteers and even been given contact information for sponsorships. This information is going to make this years event, bigger and better then last years. I know that we are 6 months away from this event, but now is the time to start thinking about it. If you would like to donate your time for worthy causes try and find a givecamp in your local community. I know that Microsoft is working w

Starting the journey?

A few months ago I was part of a Twitter debate over certifications (ie: Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional MCITP), or Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS)) I argued that these Certifications were extremely valuable to an individual starting out or right out of college, but someone with 10 plus years should not have to get the cert. I am not going to retracted that statement, but I am going to start studying for my Certification. I broke down and purchased the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-536): Microsoft® .NET Framework Application Development Foundation, Second edition . Many of the items are refreshers and they should be. By the end of this year I’ll have purchased the second book and hopefully have past my first test – I don’t do well on tests, never have. So why the change in heart. As I stated earlier, I don’t believe that you need that certification if you have 10 plus years in development – when it come to the work envi

Day 8 of the 30 day challenge

So today all I needed to do was 45 second plank. I did it and my shoulder still hurts. I think tomorrow is going to be a little more difficult, we move up to 1 minute plank and 7 push-ups. Just remember, you have to start somewhere…and this is my start.
