    Windows 8; Over Before It Started?

    by  • August 22, 2012 • Info

    No love for an aging tech-giant

    The Windows 8 Upgrade cycle is starting, and at 15$ a pop, I must admit it is a bit enticing to get hold of the next Redmond-baby only to tear it down later. I gave the early-release a try, and I’ll admit, the novelty wore off in about 10 minutes; I caught what I...

    How To Install Windows From USB Drive – Ultrabook or Netbook Tutorial – Tutorial Tuesday

    by  • July 24, 2012 • Tutorial Tuesday

    Hey guys! In this episode, we are setting up a new computer but I don’t have a working CD drive! Oh no! This could be a very useful tutorial for those of you out there with ultrabooks and netbooks who don’t have a built in disc drive.

    You don’t need to download any programs, and you can have it done in about 20 minutes. About 15 of those minutes are just spent waiting for the USB thumb drive to format.

    For this project I recommend using an 8GB USB thumb drive, but you may be able to get away with a 4GB USB thumb drive depending on the size of your Windows files. You can use this tutorial to install Windows 7 from a USB drive, or to install Windows 8 from a USB drive.

    I am not sure if this tutorial will allow you to install Windows XP from a thumb drive, but I do know that you can use a program that will flash a thumb drive pretty easily for you, because I ran into that tutorial while doing research for this one.

    Hope you guys enjoy the tutorial, and remember to please Share, Like and Subscribe, and if you really want to help me out, feel free to Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down this video or share it with your friends on Twitter and Facebook

    Windows 8 Blue Screen Of Death

    by  • June 2, 2012 • Info

    Kernel error BSOD – After reboot it would not connect to network to backup files, nor would it mount drives, just an extensive stream of kernel errors after bootup.

    I am not sure if this is something other people should replicate in the wild, as it ate my weekend’s work, and required a reformat, which is completely my fault for keeping such things on the same HD as a Windows 8 Install.
