FacebookKoala 1.0: Windows USB
Koala is a new software with a clear aim: to make as easy as possible the installation of new Windows Operating Systems on machines without an optical drive, for instance a net-book or a net-top.
The net-book phenomenon has exploded in the last years, machines with low purchase price and performance levels more than adequate for daily tasks and more, and it have undoubtedly helped to spread such products on a worldwide level.
With the philosophy of low cost and small size, all these systems are provided without an optical drive: this hinders a bit the novice user wishing to update his or her net-book with one of the latest version of Windows, usually distributed on DVDs. The same argument can be applied to any other compact machine, like a net-top or a server.
- A Computer equipped with one of the following Windows Operating Systems: 2000 Professional or Server, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2
- .Net Framework 2.0 Runtime
- An installation DVD of one of the following Windows Operating Systems: Vista, 7, Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2 (if you are a Technet, MSDN or MSDN-AA subscriber and you have the ISO file, you’ll just need an ISO mounting software like SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive)
- A USB thumb drive with a total capacity equal or greater than 4GB
Step 1: Run the program
Step 2: Insert the thumb-drive and the installation DVD, then scan to find source…
You will, of course, have to pay attention about the boot devices order in the BIOS configuration menu of the machine on which you will perform the installation.
Finally, the tool is available in six languages (English, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Arabic and Russian)
