Installing Windows 7 from USB

Image
By

Are you a person recently purchased a netbook which is not having a DVD ROM, No problem, you can install any OS using a pendrive or USB’s.

Here is the steps.

Requirements

1. A 4GB pen drive (since the size of Windows 7 is 2.34GB)

2. Windows 7 installation files or a iso image of Windows 7 OS

3. Administrative privileges in the OS

Step 1 : Take the backup of all the data in your usb drive plug into the Machine.

Step 2: Go to device manager (Control panel –> device manager –> select disk –> select your usb drive ) and then right click –> properties –> go to policies –> Select Better performance). This step is needed for faster installation of windows 7 (You can wonder, windows 7 installed within 15 minutes with just 1GB RAM) See the following picture

Step 3:   open the command prompt with administrative rights (Accessories –> right click Command prompt – and select run as administrator)

Step 4: type DISKPART  (you will get a prompt as DISKPART)

Step 5: type LIST DISK (it will list all the disks), please remember the disk number of your pen drive (see the following picture)

So, mine is disk 1

Step 6: Execute the following commands one by one,

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS   (since windows 7 permits only NTFS, the USBs also to be formatted as NTFS, and this process will take some time)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Step 7: Now insert the windows 7 DVD drive or if you have iso image, using winrar extract it to a folder

Step 8:  go to the concerned folder in the command prompt (assume installation files of windows 7 as E:/win07)

execute the command in command prompt

E:

CD win07/BOOT

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 G: (assigning the bootmanager to the USB. G is the drive letter for my USB)

Step 9: After getting the successful message, copy the contents of your Windows 7 installation files to your USB Drive. Thats it.

Enable Booting from  USB option in your BIOS and lets see the installation will complete within 15 minutes.!!!!

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
