What is Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL)?
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL).
EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more.

Install Windows 7 from USB drive using DISKPART

Windows 7 can be installed from a USB drive when the other installation methods are unavailable. We can choose between a memory card, hard drive which is USB compatible etc., and also several 3rd party tools are available for creating a USB bootable Windows 7 installation media, but I am using the "diskpart" command-line tool. Diskpart is a very good tool as it comes along with your install of Windows Vista, 7 and Server 2008.
