Step 1: Connect the Windows 8 bootable USB to the PC or insert the bootable DVD into the optical drive tray and reboot your machine.

Step 2: Press any key on the keyboard if you see “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD” message on the screen. But if you are booting from a USB, Windows will automatically start loading the required files to start the setup process. Once you press the key (if you are using DVD to boot) you will see Windows loading all the files required to begin the setup process.

Step 3: In the following screen, select your language, time, currency format, and keyboard type. Keeping the default options should be fine for most of the users. Click Next button to continue to the next step.

Step 4: In the Install Windows screen, click Install Now button to proceed to the License Agreement screen. Check I accept the license terms option and click Next button.

Step 5: When you are asked to select the type of installation you want to perform, click on Custom (advanced) option as you can’t upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Developer Preview. Clicking on Custom (advanced) option will take you to drive selection screen where you need to select the partition on which you want to install Windows 8.

Microsoft recommends a minimum of 16 GB free space for Windows 8 installation. But if you are planning to install your favorite third-party software on Windows 8, we recommend a partition with at least 30 GB free space. You can use the disk tools available under Drive options to delete, format, and create new partitions.

Select the partition and click Next button to begin installing Windows 8 on your machine. Your PC may reboot during the process.

Step 6: After a few minutes and a reboot you will see the following screen:

Simply enter a name for your PC and click Next button to move to the Settings screen.

Step 7: The Settings screen offers two options:

  # Express settings

   # Customize settings

If you choose the Express settings, you can change these settings later. So, click Use Express settings to proceed to the next step.

And, if you would prefer to customize your settings instead of selecting recommend settings, click Customize. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to customize the settings.

You will get options to share and connect, update installation types, and enable or disable apps accessing your location (using Windows location platform) and few other personalization settings.

Step 8: In the next step, you will be asked to enter your Windows Live ID. If you don’t like to enter your email ID, click on Don’t want to log on with a Windows Live ID option to skip this step.

Step 9: In the following screen (if you have entered your email address), you need to enter your email password too. Windows will finalize all settings and prepare your desktop in a few seconds. Good luck!

Suasana tenang di dalam kelas. Murid-murid terlihat antusias mendengarkan pelajaran yang diberikan oleh gurunya. Kemudian gurunya memberikan pertanyaan “Anak-anak di dalam setiap musibah pasti ada hikmahnya, selain itu di dalam setiap musibah ada keuntungannya, sekarang siapa yang tahu keuntungan di dalam setiap musibah..?”

Murid-murid saling berpandangan sambil berbisik “Mana ada keuntungan, yang ada juga kerugian..”

Kemudian gurunya bertanya lagi “Ada yang tahu tidak..?”

Salah seorang murid yang bernama Amor berdiri “Saya tahu Bu..”

“Iya coba kamu jawab..” perintah gurunya.

Muridnya kemudian menjawab “Memang betul Bu ada keuntungan dibalik setiap musibah, contohnya sewaktu kecopetan keuntungan yang didapat yaitu untung isi dompetnya cuma seribu, lalu sewaktu kebakaran keuntungan yang didapat yaitu untung cuma teras depan yang kebakaran, lalu sewaktu ditabrak motor keuntungan yang didapat yaitu untung cuma lecet-lecet, dan masih banyak lagi yang lain Bu..”

Gurunya yang mendengarkan sedikit kesal “Untung cuma kamu murid ibu yang rusuh… yang benar itu keuntungan dibalik musibah yaitu kita menjadi dekat kepada Allah, karena biasanya orang ingat Allah kalau lagi dapat musibah..”

Amor berkata lagi “Nah itu maksud saya Bu..”

Gurunya: “@!))%&@?%”

Saat menjadi Presiden, Gus Dur pernah bercerita kepada Menteri Pertahanan Mahfud MD tentang orang Madura yang katanya banyak akal dan cerdik.

Ceritanya ada seorang tukang becak asal Madura yang pernah dipergoki oleh polisi ketika melanggar rambu “Becak dilarang masuk”. Tukang becak itu masuk ke jalan yang ada rambu gambar becak disilang dengan garis hitam yang berarti jalan itu tidak boleh dimasuki becak.

“Apa kamu tidak melihat gambar itu? Itu kan gambar becak tak boleh masuk jalan ini,” bentak Pak polisi. “Oh saya melihat pak, tapi itu kan gambarnya becak kosong tidak ada pengemudinya. Becak saya kan ada yang mengemudi, tidak kosong berarti boleh masuk,” jawab si tukang becak.

“Bodoh, apa kamu tidak bisa baca? Di bawah gambar itukan ada tulisan bahwa becak dilarang masuk,” bentak Pak polisi lagi.

“Tidak pak, saya tidak bisa baca, kalau saya bisa membaca maka saya jadi polisi seperti sampeyan, bukan jadi tukang becak begini,” jawab si tukang becak sambil cengengesan.
