Installing Windows 7, Step by step guide with screen shots.
From: http://www.blogger.com/
Installing Windows 7, first step, put the DVD in to the drive and make sure your BIOS is set to boot from the drive. Pretty standard Windows setup screen here. At this point though, is where the real excitement starts.
Some pretty lights as the setup program starts, a nice twist. And what do the pretty lights turn in to? A Windows logo, neat.

Alright, dialogue boxes! Pretty basic here, just select where you are and the language you want.
Lets hit the Install Now button, so far pretty easy. Taking this from a person who has never done this before, there's nothing really to worry about during this installation up to this point. Next step is to accept the license terms, so click i accept and next.
Alright, first hurdle. Since we booted from the DVD we have to do a Custom Advanced install. The upgrade option is greyed out (it's available if you start the setup from within your current version of Windows)

So this is what you get after you click Custom on the previous screen. I suppose this could be a little confusing for the non geek installer, especially if there is a list of multiple partitions. Though by now I'm sure a lot of casual users have gotten somewhat of a grasp on what a hard drive is. I hope so anyway. Didn't go to the Advanced tab for partitioning or formatting, if you want just one partition. just click next.
Alright, let the installation begin! Here setup copies archives over for extraction and installation on the hard drive.
The files copied over pretty fast, now on to the extraction process. This didn't take long at all, about 5 to 10minutes.

OK, so files were extracted, now setup needs a restart to continue. No big deal, this part of the process will went by quickly.

So here we are, after the reboot and right back at it. Windows 7 starts services to continue installation.
A quick glance back over to Windows 7's installation progress bar. To see the "Completing Installation" text. Alright, if new Windows 7 wants a restart before it shows desktop goodness, then a restart it gets!
So here we go, lets pick a username! (and password if you want).

Here on the Windows 7 installation it asks for the product key. Though you can hit next without putting in a product key, but that will install Windows 7 in a 30 day trial mode. Even after that you can enter product key to activate full version.
It's always good to set the clock! Windows 7 needs to know what time it is! Just set your time zone and date.
Picking the network location. Windows 7 wants to know where you are, this determines how the OS will set file sharing and network discovery settings.
And here Windows 7 sets those settings for file sharing and network discovery.

Cool new feature for a Home group. Even more security for your networked files, and with an 1- 2 - 3 setup like just entering a network code in to Windows 7 to automatically join together it's even easier than setting up Windows shares and editing network properties, like a workgroup.
At this point... Windows 7 is ready.
Done.
Note: This installation guide is based on Win 7 beta version. There is possibility of some points get missed by me so any correction is welcome here.
