The fastest way to install windows 7 is from a bootable usb drive. You can cut the install time down to around 15 minutes compared with 30-40 via DVD if you use a fast drive.
People still asking me to explain what is the best way to do this as many of the guides online are too complex, or require third party software which doesn’t always work as they supposed to.
With this BootableUSB guide all you need to ensure is that your motherboard supports USB booting, and this is a common feature now for most of the computers.
Today I am going to publish a step by step guide which works perfectly and doesn’t require any additional tools – I have been doing it for some time now to create bootable Windows install drives.
You need to get hold of a fast USB 2.0 flash drive. It doesn’t need to be 32GB or bigger,however, all you need is a 4GB unit. The faster it is, the better.
What you need:
– Windows 7 DVD install disc or ISO image
– USB Drive (4GB+ and as fast as you can get)
– Running Windows Operating system
– Working set of hands and eyes
– A few minutes of your life
Plug in your USB drive in the USB port:
Usb Drive Plugged
Before going any further, make sure you have removed any important files on your drive to a safe location, what we are about to do next is to erase the entire contents of the drive.
Insert your DVD of Windows 7 into the computer, but don’t start the normal install process.
Open your ‘My Computer’ and make a note of the drive numbers of both the USB drive and the DVD drive with Windows 7 files on it.
Usb And Computer Drives
As you can see from the image above, the DVD drive is drive has letter D assigned and the USB drive is E.
Open the command prompt with admin rights. Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Shift+Ctrl+Enter.
To keep things really easy, if you see text in upper case, it means this is what you type into the command prompt (you don’t need to type in upper case).
cmd-prompt-usb-bootable
Next type: DISKPART
this loads the diskpart application we need to proceed
Then type: LIST DISK
the image above shows our 32 GB USB drive is listed as DISK 2
so you have to type
SELECT DISK 2 (your USB Drive may have a different number, don’t follow exactly this text it depends on your usb drive)
You will get a successful response “Disk 2 is now the selected disk”
Clean Cmd USB Drive
Next we want to clean the USB drive
Type: CLEAN
you will get a successful response ‘DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk”.
Clean USB Drive
After the drive is cleaned follow the list in the image above (detailed below in list order) – you can also note the successful text responses from the OS as you enter each command.
SELECT DISK 2 (or what number your USB drive has)
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
Formatting can take a little time depending on the size of the drive, our 32GB unit took about 10 minutes to format - you will see a percentage readout until it is finished.
Bootable USB Final Cmd Prompt
Next type:
ASSIGN
EXIT (DISK PART will exit)
Type D: CD BOOT (substitute the “D” if necessary with the letter of your Windows 7 DVD drive)
then key
CD BOOT
then BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 E: (substitute the “E” if necessary with the letter of your now ready USB drive) – we are telling the system to create a boot sector file on the USB drive.
Now you can exit the command prompt and copy all the files on the Windows 7 DVD to the USB drive.
Once this step is finished you’ll be ready to boot from this drive, all you need to do is configure your motherboard bios setup to boot first from USB rather than hard drive or optical drive. If you don’t know how to do this, refer to your specific motherboard manual or search the internet.
Now, Windows 7 installation should take between 40% and 60% of the time it does from the DVD disc.
Last step: Drink a cup of tea, from now on you can do this again and again :)

20 Habits of Highly Authentic People
Meeting someone living a uniquely crafted life is a breath of fresh air. These people are rare – it takes courage and self-confidence to be who you really are despite reactions from skeptics and attempts to bring you back to conformity and a false exterior. If you’re ready to show to the world the real you, this post might just be the beginning of your journey to authenticity.
Here are the 20 things that authentic people do differently:
1. They aren't afraid to express their opinions even though those opinions might be different than the opinions of the majority.
2. They never apply advice given without firstly consulting the guide within.
3. They are driven to action by the inner-motor rather than external triggers.
4. They’re proud of their unique traits that make them stand out from the crowd.
5. They have unique daily rituals, like making coffee in a special way or meditating in candlelight before going to bed.
6. They allow their friends and people they meet to show their true selves.
7. They search in conversations for depth, and not for gossip or emotional news.
8.They’re perfectly happy in their own company and they’re great friends with their own selves.
9. They value experiences over things.
10. They make the most out of the situations they find themselves in, be the situation bad or good.
11. They don’t judge others because they look beyond the external facade of words and appearances.
12. They talk less because they conserve energy for wording things that matter.
13. They listen closely because they’re fascinated with exploring the depths of other beings.
14. They don’t complain as they take full responsibility of their lives.
15. They have high self-esteem and appear confident because they have nothing to hide.
16. They don’t get upset when someone obviously dislikes them. They allow others to form whatever opinions they wish to have.
17. They see beauty and perfection in things that other people dismiss.
18. They try to support others and sincerely wish for people to grow and reveal their unlimited selves.
19. They let go of critical and ill-wishing people, although they don’t hold any bad feelings towards them.
20. They see the unity and interconnectedness of all life, and hear the harmonious symphony of the world in all life’s situations.

O que conta um Historiador de Cristo.
Lo que cuenta un Historiador - ( de CRISTO )
La Cruz ..
en medio de otras dos cruces,
un Nazareno,
dos asesinos
o ladrones,
desconozco sus nombres
no se el nombre del traidor
uno de los doce, o de los diez,
si lo vendió por treinta monedas
o guardo veinte en una bolsa
o en una caja..
si arrojó el beso a los fariseos
o enterró las monedas
en la mejilla
de su Maestro..
¿ los ángeles pernoctaron
cuando bebió el Vaso,
de Hinojos,
en el Huerto?
o se despertaron
las espadas?
Reparo el tamaño de los clavos,
el crujir de las muñecas.
No registro
si entró a la ciudad
sentado en un asno
O entró caminando
libre ..sereno
mirando la línea que separa el cielo y la tierra ..
porque amaba caminar en sandalias
en el tiempo que sacaba los peces muertos
del lago,
para resucitarlos luego de tres días
dándoles pan y vino
agua viva..
de su Pozo
Después se retiraba a la soledad de su barca,
y hablaba a su Padre..
No soy testigo si cantó el gallo,
o pasó un gorrión piando
una, dos, o tres veces,
mientras el discípulo lloraba junto a la criada
o matrona de la casa,
es un hecho
los azotes en el pilar,
- bastones-
con tiras de cuero,
la punta de cada tira rematada
con fragmentos de hueso de cordero
o de plomo ..
escuché el balido de las ovejas,
No me olvido del Hombre que ya no parecía hombre
No anoto si jugaban a los dados,
a una partida de ajedrez,
si un piquete de soldados
o un corro de pastores,
echaban a suerte una túnica,
o un par de sandalias..
No silencio la corona de espinas,
tejida,
demasiado bien tejida,
de manos que no les faltó tiempo..
No ignoro la lanza
que traspasó el costado..
-no se le quebrará un hueso-
No se más
del Carpintero,
de sus milagros,
el número de apóstoles..
recuerdo el tamaño de los clavos
Recuerdo los brazos abiertos
y un grito fuerte
que atraviesa los siglos...

Poesia Maio 2014
Não te queria distante, queria-te aqui.
Tu és dislumbrante, e meu ser anseia por ti.
O dia se vai, e não quer ficar,
como o Sol quer ir e Lua está a vir...
Estes são os meus Ais, asfixiado sem ar.
por te ver a sorrir e teres de partir...
é mais um dia e mais um porquê...
Em teus braços não me importava de morrer,
embriagado de teu ser, do teu tocar.
Teus lábios são meu alimento, teu olhar meu respirar.
Só te queria abraçar...
Tu és dislumbrante, e meu ser anseia por ti.
O dia se vai, e não quer ficar,
como o Sol quer ir e Lua está a vir...
Estes são os meus Ais, asfixiado sem ar.
por te ver a sorrir e teres de partir...
é mais um dia e mais um porquê...
Em teus braços não me importava de morrer,
embriagado de teu ser, do teu tocar.
Teus lábios são meu alimento, teu olhar meu respirar.
Só te queria abraçar...
