RE: [AI] Installing Operating System from bootable disk

[Vedprakash Sharma]

Lately, I bought a Lenovo laptop with windows 11 and office 365 included. As I got the machine, I started it. Narrator was working and giving instructions. I followed the instructions. It configured my wi fi connection, installed windows from an online source, activated office 365 online and also got me to a link where I could install office 21. After all this, it asked, “would you like to continue using narrator?” I chose yes button and installed jaws also.   Sent from Mail for Windows   From: Yamuna Jivana dasa (Yogan) Sent: 06 July 2023 03:49 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Installing Operating System from bootable disk   Hi, It is not possible to load a screen-reader into memory early enough in the boot process to make the bios accessible via screen-reader. Sighted help will be required to select boot order priority from Bios. However once you are booting from the install media such as a bootable memory stick or Windows DVD and the functional component has been loaded into RAM, at that point you should be able to press Control Windows Enter to load Narrator. At the appropriate point during the installer, you may choose to partition your drives in preparation for installing Windows onto it. Note this is a very basic partition interface and does not allow you to do power-user style partition of your disks, such as for dual-boot Etc, at least not to my knowledge, but I don't think you are asking about that anyway.   As far as reading the Bios, if you are daring enough you could use something like the Optacon to read the physical display! I don't know if those things still exist today but they did when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. It's a camera which you could place against the screen, and whatever text is under the lenz will be translated into a finger pad of tiny pins which vibrate rapidly to reveal the shape of the printed text under your finger of the other hand. As one hand moves around the camera, the other hand's pointing finger feels the text as it changes. Very cumbersome but would be interesting to try if those things still exist! Any dinosaurs like me on this list? I do hope so! <Smile>   Sorry for going off-topic! That's my irresistable urge as always.   Yamuna Jivana dasa   -----Original Message----- From: sambit das Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2023 1:06 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Installing Operating System from bootable disk   Hello All   Is there any accessible way by which I can install windows or any other OS using a bootable disk? Presently I require sighted assistance at the time of making modifications in BIOS for booting from bootable drive and at the time of creation of disk partition.   -- With regards Sambit Kumar Das   -- Disclaimer: 1.
