ABOUT DISK2VHD
Disk2vhd can create images from any drive attached to a PC so long as the drive has the necessary files. The tool works by using the Windows’ Volume Snapshot capability found in any Windows operating system, starting with XP and later. In fact, the best method of using this tool is to save the .vhd file to an externally attached drive. If you save the image to the same drive you are taking the image from, performance will seriously degrade. Since the process is already fairly slow, you do not want to make matters worse.

You will also need to make sure that you have plenty of space on the target drive. Most likely the installation you are using to create your image is not a clean installation, but a specific image with various applications and configurations. This will cause the size to grow quite a bit. This also brings up another issue: If the drive is a VFAT-formatted drive, your image file cannot be over 4GB. So make sure either your file system will accept larger files or your vhd file is less than 4GB.

So, with that said, let’s take a look at how this tool is used.
Getting and installing

There really is no installation involved with Disk2vhd. This application is not an installer file but a self-contained binary, which can be executed from any location (even a thumb drive). So when you download and extract the Disk2vhd file, you will see four files inside the newly created Disk2vdh directory. Of these files, the one you will use is disk2vhd. You can either double-click that file from within the Disk2vhd directory or pin the file to either the Start menu or the Quick Launch menu.

When you start the application, you will see the main window (Figure A). There is no configuration window, which makes this tool simple to use.

How it works
As you can see, I have set the location of my target file to be on an external hard drive. This ensures that I have enough space for the image as well as keeps the process from dragging my machine to a crawl.
Once the minimal options are taken care of, all that is left to do is to click the Create button. Once you have done this, the process will begin. Depending on the size of your image file, this process could take some time. During the creation, you will see the progress bar very slowly inch across the window (Figure B).

Once the process is complete, you will have a file on your target drive named after your PC with the extension .vhd. It is this file that you can then import into the virtual machine tool of your choice. Without going into the specifics of each virtual machine tool, the process of adding these image files is simple:

* Create a new virtual machine with the characteristics that match the machine used to create the image file.
* During the process of creating the virtual machine, use the vhd file as the new machine’s IDE disk.
* When you first boot the new machine, the virtual machine tool will detect the machine’s hardware and automatically install the drivers.

Those steps could vary, depending on the virtual machine tool you use

Nexus One: The Big Picture

The phone looks more like the iPhone than any other phone on the market. There is no physical keyboard like the Android-powered Motorola Droid, and the tradeoff is a much slimmer design. The phone is 11.5 mm deep, slightly thinner than the iPhone 3GS at 12.3 mm. It is also slightly lighter than the iPhone 130 grams v. 135 grams). The package comes with the phone, a removable battery, 4 GB Micro SD storage card (expandable to 32 GB), USB charger and microphone headset.

The Nexus one has four functional touch buttons at the bottom of the screen (back, menu, home, search) and a navigation trackball pointing device. It also has physical power and volume controls. But most of your interaction with the phone will be through the gorgeous 3.7 inch 480 x 800 OLED capacitive touchscreen. This is the best mobile phone display on the market today, blowing away the iPhone’s 480 x 320 display. The screen is bright and alive, and an absolute pleasure to use.

This phone is also powered by the Snapdragon 1 GHz core processor, which is more than able to handle the Nexus One’s 3D graphics, multiple applications running in the background and heavy browser use simultaneously. Unlike previous Android phones, there is no slowdown or lag when you push the phone’s performance, and less of a need to kill applications to keep the device humming.

Price And Availability

The Nexus One is available “in large quantities” starting today at Google.com/phone. An unlocked GSM version of the phone that will work in most countries is $529.

Google is also offering a subsidized version of the phone – also unlocked – through T-Mobile for $179. The service plan offered by Google is 500 minutes/unlimited SMS/unlimited data for $80/month. T-Mobile’s termination fee is $200, and some users might be tempted to buy the T-Mobile version and terminate immediately, paying just $379 for the unlocked phone. Google says that users terminating too soon will be charged the full price of the phone, however. But even the T-Mobile version of the phone can be used overseas on trips by slipping in a different SIM.

Google will ship the unlocked version of the phone to customers in the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong and Singapore. In the Spring they say they’ll add a CDMA version of the phone through Verizon, and set up a European store with a carrier plan via Vodafone.

U.S. users can also use the unlocked phone with AT&T, although the phone’s radio isn’t able to use AT&T’s 3G network.

GOD MODE OF WIN 7 IS MAINLY COVERED AS THERE ISNT ANY MUCH INFO AVAILABLE ON THIS MODE OF WIN7.
GodMode feature that lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder.

To enter "GodMode," one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.

The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.
