How to Install Windows 7 using pendrive – A 20 minutes installation guide
I have post this blog because I found it very difficult when I first time install windows 7 in my laptop using DVD that came with the laptop.
The installation stuck for hours on the windows showing expanding files some times on 11% and some times on 99% nothing has done . This position will remain same after 1 hour or more after I have to install again from beginning.
