Know About Windows PowerShell 2.0 & Windows 7

Powershell is a command-line shell utility and associated with scripting language from Microsoft. Power Shell supports Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008. The latest version of PowerShell is Windows PowerShell 2.0 released with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft Windows PowerShell is a new command-line shell and scripting language designed for system administration and automation. Built on the .NET Framework, Windows PowerShell enables IT professionals and developers to control and automate the administration of Windows and applications.

Remote management : You can run commands on one computer or hundreds of computers with a single command. You can establish an interactive session with a single computer. And, you can establish a session that can receive remote commands from multiple computers.

New cmdlets : Cmdlets are specialized commands in the PowerShell environment that implement specific functions. These are the native commands in the PowerShell stack. Windows PowerShell includes more than 100 new cmdlets, including Get-Hotfix, Send-Mail Message, Get-Computer Restore Point, New-Web Service Proxy, Debug-Process, Add-Computer, Rename-Computer, Reset-Computer Machine Password, and Get-Random.

Modules : Windows PowerShell modules let you organize your Windows PowerShell scripts and functions into independent, self-contained units. You can package your cmdlets, providers, scripts, functions, and other files into modules that you can distribute to other users. Modules are easier for users to install and use than Windows PowerShell snap-ins. Modules can include any type of file, including audio files, images, Help files, and icons. Modules run in a separate session to avoid name conflicts.

Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) : Windows PowerShell ISE is a graphical user interface for Windows PowerShell that lets you run commands, and write, edit, run, test, and debug scripts in the same window. It offers up to eight independent execution environments and includes a built-in debugger, multiline editing, selective execution, syntax colors, line and column numbers, and context-sensitive Help.

Events : Windows PowerShell includes a new event infrastructure that lets you create events, subscribe to system and application events, and then listen, forward, and act on the events synchronously and asynchronously.

Advanced functions : Advanced functions behave just like cmdlets, but they are written in the Windows PowerShell scripting language instead of in C#.

Script internationalization : Scripts and functions can display messages and Help text to users in multiple languages.

Background jobs : With Windows PowerShell background jobs, you can run commands asynchronously and “in the background” so you can continue to work in your session. You can run background jobs on a local or remote computer, and you can store the results locally or remotely.

Debugger : The Windows PowerShell debugger can help you debug functions and scripts. You can set and remove breakpoints, step through code, check the values of variables, and display a call-stack trace.

Transactions : Windows PowerShell now supports transactions, which let you manage a set of commands as a logical unit. A transaction can be committed, or it can be completely undone so that the affected data is not changed by the transaction.

Dual Boot Windows 7 with XP/Vista in 3 easy steps

Now that Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7 (beta) is publicly available, almost everyone is itching to get their grubby paws on a copy and take it for a test drive.

However, because this is only a beta release most people simply aren't willing to part with their established installations of Windows Vista
or XP. With that mind, we're going to look at one easy way of dual booting Windows 7 Beta with either Vista or XP in three painless steps...

Step 1:
Create an Installation Disc
In case you haven't downloaded your copy of Windows 7 Beta yet, you can get it now in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. You can read further instructions and get your installation key from Microsoft's website.

Once you obtain your copy of Windows 7 (the official release is an .ISO file), you will need to burn it to a blank DVD to continue.

There are countless applications out there which will burn image files, to name a few popular free ones:Burn4Free CD and DVD, CDBurnerXP, ImgBurn and Ashampoo Burning Studio Free. I used CDBurnerXP.

Step 2:

Create a New Partition

Moving on to more pressing matters, we'll need to create unallocated disk space by resizing an existing partition followed by creating a new partition on this unallocated disk space where Windows 7 will call home.
I imagine a majority of you will only have one partition, which is dedicated to whatever operating system
you're currently using.

To complete this task we'll be looking at two different approaches because while Windows Vista has built-in tools to resize active partitions, XP does not, and thus we must resort to a third party application (GParted).

Create a New Partition on Windows Vista
Before we get started, if for any reason you prefer to use the GParted alternative detailed below, feel more than welcomed to do so.

In Windows, click the Start button and enter "diskmgmt.msc" into the search bar. This will open a window titled "Disk Management" displaying basic information about the drives attached to your PC. Right click the partition on "Disk 0" and select "Shrink Volume".

This should present you with drive capacity information and the option to enter the amount you would like to "shrink" your partition by. The recommended minimum partition size for Windows 7 is 16GB, so enter an amount of that size or larger and then click "Shrink".

You should now see unallocated space on your hard drive in the capacity specified, situated just after your resized partition.

Before you create a new partition and assign a letter to it, be a perfectionist and reassign your optical drives to the next letter down from what they are now, so that your new empty partition can have whatever letter follows your first partition (probably "D").

Right click the newly unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume..." which ought to open a wizard screen.

On your way through the wizard you'll be asked to define the capacity for your new volume. Let it occupy the entire size of the unallocated space and assign it the letter that you've just freed. Quick format the volume using the NTFS file system and default allocation unit size (Volume label can be anything, just name it Windows 7).

You should now see a healthy primary partition with the capacity and label you had defined, and with that you can move onto step 3.

Create a New Partition on Windows XP

This process is fundamentally the same as the above, but using the third-party tool GParted instead of the integrated Disk Management utility in Vista. Needless to say, this is the route XP users will have to take.

Download the latest copy of GParted and then burn it to a disc just like you did with the Windows 7 .ISO, except GParted can be fit on a CD.

After you've burned your image of GParted, pop it in your optical drive and reboot. Shortly after booting off the disc you'll see a dialog for choosing your preferred language, keymap and screen resolution.

Once the software has loaded, right click the partition you're going to resize - again, you probably only have one and it's likely on "dev/hda1" - and select "Resize/Move".

This should present you with drive capacity information and the option to enter a new size you'd like your partition to be. The recommended minimum partition size for Windows 7 is 16GB so opt for that size or larger.

You should now see unallocated space on your hard drive in the capacity specified, situated just after your resized partition.

Right click the newly unallocated space and select "New", which ought to open a window requesting the amount of free space you'd like preceding and following the new partition as well as the new partition size. Fill in zeros for both the preceding and following free space in order to occupy the entire unallocated space. Create it as a "Primary Partition" and format it using NTFS.

You should now see a healthy primary partition with the capacity you defined above. Click Apply to initialize the operation. Once that's done you can now move on to step 3.

Step 3:

Install Windows 7

With the Windows 7 DVD in your optical drive, reboot and "press any key" to boot from the disc when prompted. The installation wizard that you'll meet is pretty straightforward for the most part.

The only thing worth noting is that during the process make absolutely sure that you choose the "Custom (advanced)" installation option so you're able to select the fresh partition created above, and be careful, you run the risk of installing over your old operating system along with all of your data if you select the wrong partition.

After defining all configuration parameters Windows will continue with the installation process for roughly 15-30 minutes and then prompt you to set up your account, provide a key and set up Windows.

Pat yourself on the back! You've successfully installed Windows 7 alongside your previously existing instance of Windows and you'll be able to check out 've heard about Microsoft's latest operating system.

Troubleshooting Tips:

Make sure you shutdown/reboot your PC from within Windows cleanly if you're having issues when attempting to alter your partition with GParted.

Can't boot off the GParted or Windows 7 discs? Take a look in your BIOS to ensure that your boot sequence is configured properly. You'll want the optical drive to take precedence over your hard drives so you can boot off the CD.

Know The BIOS Beep Code List -All Desktops

When you power on your computer, the motherboard's basic input/output system (BIOS) first detects the computer's internal hardware configuration and then performs the power-on self-test (POST). The POST executes several diagnostic tests that check the basic functionality of the power supply, motherboard, CPU, I/O Bus Controller, RAM, keyboard, and video components. If the computer passes the POST, it will usually return a single short beep or two short beeps, depending on the BIOS manufacturer. If the POST detects any problems, it will halt the boot process and return an error message either visually on the screen and/or audibly through a series of beeps.

Unfortunately, there is no official standard for beep codes. Depending on the BIOS manufacturer, a keyboard controller failure could be three, four, five, or six beeps. While this document lists common BIOS manufacturer beep codes, you should always consult your motherboard's documentation, the manufacturer's Web site, and the BIOS manufacturer's Web site for a definitive beep code list for your particular BIOS. The information contained in the following lists was gathered from various BIOS manufacturers' Web sites.

AMI BIOS beep codes http://www.ami.com/support/bios.html http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMIBIOS-codes.pdf
Number of beeps	Problem description	Troubleshooting recommendation
1	Memory refresh timer error	Reseat memory or replace with known good chips.
2	Parity error	Reseat memory or replace with known good chips.
3	Base 64K memory read/write test failure	Reseat memory or replace with known good chips.
4	Motherboard timer not operational	Repair/replace motherboard.
5	Processor error	Repair/replace motherboard.
6	8042—gate A20 failure/Keyboard controller BAT test error	Reseat keyboard controller chip, replace keyboard controller chip, check for a keyboard fuse, or try a different keyboard.
7	Processor exception interrupt error	Repair/replace motherboard.
8	Display memory read/write failure	Replace video card or video card memory.
9	ROM checksum error/Faulty BIOS chips	Replace chips or motherboard.
10	CMOS shutdown register read/write error	Repair/replace motherboard.
11	Cache memory bad	Repair/replace motherboard.

AwardBIOS beep codes http://www.phoenix.com/en/Customer+Services/BIOS/AwardBIOS/Award+Error+Codes.htm
Number of beeps	Problem description	Troubleshooting recommendation
1 long & 2 short	Video error	Check the video card.
Any other beeps	RAM problem	Reseat the RAM or replace with known good chips.

PhoenixBIOS beep codes http://www.phoenix.com/en/Customer+Services/BIOS/BIOS+FAQ/default.htm#Q12 http://www.phoenix.com/NR/rdonlyres/81E6C43C-93BD-4097-A9C4-62F05AAD6025/0/biospostcode.pdf
Unfortunately, PhoenixBIOS beep codes are significantly more complicated than other BIOS manufacturers. Instead of a single beep code set, PhoenixBIOS codes consist of a series of beep code sets separated by a short pause. Older Phoenix BIOS Plus and PhoenixBIOS 1.x systems used a series of three sets, while the PhoenixBIOS 4.x systems use a series of four sets. The codes listed below are only some of the more than 100 codes for the PhoenixBIOS 4.x. For a complete list of Phoenix BIOS POST task routines and beep codes, please visit their Web site or review your motherboard's documentation.
Number of beeps	POST routine description/problem	Troubleshooting recommendation
1	One short beep before boot	Normal operation
1-1-1-3	Verify real mode	A problem exists with the CPU and/or motherboard. Check and replace if necessary.
1-1-2-1	Get CPU type	A problem exists with the CPU and/or motherboard. Check and replace if necessary.
1-1-2-3	Initialize system hardware	A problem exists with the motherboard. Check and replace if necessary.
1-1-3-1	Initialize chipset with initial POST values	A problem exists with the motherboard. Check and replace if necessary.
1-1-3-2	Set IN POST flag	A problem exists with the motherboard. Check and replace if necessary.
1-1-3-3	Initialize CPU registers	A problem exists with the CPU and/or motherboard. Check and replace if necessary.
1-1-4-3	Initialize I/O component	A problem exists with the I/O port hardware or a device connected to an I/O port. It could also be an expansion device in the PC or the motherboard.
1-2-2-1	Initialize keyboard controller	An error has occurred with the keyboard or keyboard controller. Try a new keyboard or replace the keyboard controller on the motherboard.
1-2-2-3	BIOS ROM checksum	Replace either the BIOS ROM chip or the motherboard.
1-2-3-3	8237 DMA controller initialization	Check the motherboard and any expansion cards that use DMA.
1-3-1-1	Test DRAM refresh	Check the first bank of memory and the motherboard.
