It would be curious to discover who it is to whom one writes in a diary. Possibly to some mysterious personification of one's own identity. -Beatrice Webb

Procedure: Installing Windows 7 on Xanon's Laptop

...
Problem 1:
- it seemed that windows 7 ultimate can not boot when there are 5 partitions present

Solution 1:

1. Booted from an Ubuntu Live DVD
2. Extracted the necessary drivers to an external HDD
3. Deleted all partitions using gParted
4. Installed Windows 7 Ultimate, as I usually do.

My Typical Windows 7 Installation:

1. Partition the hard drive so that there will be a 2nd partition for saving data
2. Install Windows 7 with the usual options + Specific Drivers
3. Setup Portable Apps @2nd partition
  3.1 Firefox Portable with plug-ins
4. Setup Usual Applications
  4.1. Install McAfee Enterprise
  4.2. 7 zip
  4.3. MS Office 2007
  4.4. Yahoo Messenger 8
  4.5. Nokia PC Suite (for her phone)
5. Update the AntiVirus
6. Update Windows
7. Norton Ghost the current setup for quick restoration in the future.
