I've successfully install w7 32 bit from xp
without sighted help, and gotten a dual boot
system but you need a partition for w7 to go to,
I like to prepare a partition ahead of time with
tools like partition magic or casper to do this.
I have successfully install 64 bit windows 7
without sighted help using an xml file, a dvd and
a thumb drive, but it will wipe out your existing partition.
I have not figured out how to install 64 bit
windows 7 along side a windows xp install and
have both working yet without sighted help.
But it's pretty easy if your just doing the 32
bit, you get speech during all the most important
parts of the install, when your computer reboots,
you can run narrator and see what happening.

Does anyone use NVDA? If so, could I install it
to my hard drive, then copy the directory to a
flash drive to help me install Windows 7 without
sighted assistance? If I can, what do I copy,
and would it load automatically? Or would I
have to type the file path into the run dialog?

Subject: Label in INF
On the subject of handy tips, in creating the
Window-Eyes Mobile on a USB flash drive, the
commands provided by GW Micro for the AUTORUN.INF file work very well.
One handy additional statement I like to use is the "label=".
After the two lines provided by GW Micro, just before the END comment, I put:
label=WE Mobile
This provides a label making it easy to find in
Windows Explorer or My Computer. With multi card
readers having several drive letters available,
this helps identify which drive is assigned to the USB flash drive.
