[Shift Development] deadnex:
I already posted this guide in another thread, but to make sure others read it before asking questions that has been asked 10 times before I descided to repost it in a new thread. Enjoy!

As requested - here is a guide on how to install Windows 7 to the HTC Shift.

First of all you need an external DVD drive or a memory stick with 4GB minimum.

READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING WINDOWS 7.

The information contained in this guide was collected from posts in this thread and I cannot guarantee that everything will work perfect for you!

•	Download the beta image

USB-install:

1 - Open Iso file with winrar, and extract all file into folder C:\WINDOWS7\

2 - Open command prompt in administrator mode (start - all programs - accessories - command prompt - right click - run as administrator)

3 - Then type this commands :

- type CD\

- type DISKPART

- type LIST DISK

- type SELECT DISK X (where X is the memory stick disk number you got from LIST DISK)

- type CLEAN (CAUTION; THIS WILL ERASE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE SELECTED DISK)

- type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

- type SELECT PARTITION 1

- type ACTIVE

- type FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK

- type ASSIGN

- type EXIT

- type XCOPY C:\WINDOWS7\*.* /S /E /F E:\ (E: \ is the name of usb stick, if your key has an other letter, of course put your) (after *.* and after each letter preceded by / there's a space!)

Reboot, at startup push FN+F10, and choose your usb key.

This will not affect your HTC SHIFT Vista recovery partition.

DVD-install

•	Burn the image to a DVD

•	If you want to dualboot Windows 7 and Vista you need to partition your harddrive before starting the installation. Use a suitable partition manager such as Paragon Partition Manager and shrink c:/ to approximately 15-17 GB. Create a new partition in the free space.

•	Connect the USB DVD drive to your shift

•	Press fn+0 (F10) after turning on your shift – select the DVD drive

•	Follow the steps for installing Windows. Remember to select partition 2 as target partition if you want to dualboot with Vista. If not you can safely format the existing partition. This will not affect the recovery partition.

____________________________________________________________________________

•	Download the shift drivers from HTC

•	When you install the drivers – beware that you have to install them with Vista Compatibility mode enabled and run as Administrator. Right-click the driver setup file – click the Compatibility tab – select Windows Vista and mark “run this file as Administrator”

•	Install all the drivers in the order below and restart your computer when asked to:

a. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10

b. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)

c. Realtek Audio Driver R197(6[1].0.1.5653)

d. Marvell WiFi driver(8[1].114.123.139)

e. Vitakey _AC5023_Fingerprint AP v5[1].0.2.0 and Driver v7.10.1.0 *

f. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7) (Note: you have to install this through driver update in device manager)

g. Shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center - Note that you have to disable aero to get the 1024x600 interpolated resolution working. Right click on dektop -> personalize -> and choose the first "easy of access" Theme.

h. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)

•	- VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014 You can use Windows Update for this one.

•	Now that control center is working in Win7 there is no need to liberate your snapvue (if you haven't already done it). 3G,WLAN and BT works out of the box.
