How To Make Bootable USB

Having a bootable USB is very essential, especially if you are a Netbook user. Using bootable USB to install an operating system (OS) not only makes the installation faster, but also saves a DVD.
Creating or using an USB drive to install Windows operating systems is very easy if you follow the below mentioned steps.

If you are planning to use bootable USB to install Windows 7 or Vista please refer our guides:



Coming back to bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.

1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.

2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.

3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:

DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.

Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1.

4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.

SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “D” as my optical (DVD) drive letter and “H” as my USB drive letter.

6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:

D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:(Where “H” is your USB drive letter)

USB Bootable

7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.

You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).
Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.

Windows XP in USB (37 MB)



            Camyy little appearance of WINDOWSXP for an usb-trinket . Irreplaceable thing if it is needed to smuggle out of information from a computer from the flying operating system. On fleshku inundated through Ghost32 ( goes in an archive ), fleshki sufficiently on 64mb!. Interesting that it is possible after downloading from fleshki to set the necessary program and start it, the set programs will lie on that fleshke, which you were downloaded from.

Instruction:
1. We start the program Ghost
2. ghost Local->disk->from image choose this appearance, further choose a store, further "ok" overload komp, put in a bios downloading from USB. Ready!

Is it a cool option to carry a windows in your wallet.

SLOW COMPUTER ?

1.  The Computer Is "Slow":-

  • When you start-up your computer, does everything take a long time to load?
  • Does it only happen when you open up a specific program?
  • Is surfing the internet slow? Does everything else run fine?
  • Last but not least, how many programs do you typically run after booting up, and what are they?

Booting Up the Computer Is Slow

If startup is slow, you'll want to direct them to a program that cleans up startup application lists. My weapon of choice remains CCleaner. Not only does it offer this feature, but because it's a multi-useful tool for removing junk files on your hard drive as well (and a program they'll want to use in the future if they learn how to use it). You'll want to go through with them step-by-step as they open the program. Navigate to the Startup Tool, which is under the Tools tab, followed by the Startup option. Visual aids, like screenshots and screen sharing, will only help speed up this process and clarify any possible unknowns. Depending on how tech-savvy they are, you might have to do some tech-lingo translation and go through each item individually.
At this screen, you'll want them to disable (not delete) updaters, toolbars, and basically any programs that are unnecessary to starting up a functioning copy of Windows.

How to Troubleshoot Your Friends’ Computers From Far Away












Browsing the Internet Is Slow

If the internet seems to run slow, ask them how many window and tabs they have open. If the answer is somewhere above 20, suggest browsing with fewer tabs open, using helpers like the two-tab rule we previously covered, if necessary. Even better yet, if they're somehow still stuck on Internet Explorer 6 or some equally antiquated browser, point them to Mozilla Firefox or even Google Chrome to speed up their experience. Both of those browsers can easily import bookmarks and settings from Internet Explorer during their installation process.
Another thing to consider is that their internet may also be just genuinely slow, which is something you can't help them with. Aside from suggesting to upgrade their ISP or buying a better modem, there's not much you can do—yet another bit of tech support zen you'll have to get comfortable with.

They Run Too Many Programs At Once

Well, some computers can handle Windows Media Center, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, iTunes, Skype, AIM, email, browsing through 37 browser tabs, and editing a video file simultaneously easily. Some never will. If they're running too many resource-heavy programs at the same time on an old processor, tell them to stop, but explain how to actually shut down the applications—particularly those that like to hide themselves in the system tray. Otherwise, it's a behavior and hardware limitation that can't be fixed over the phone.

How to Break a BIOS Password ?

 

Break BIOS Password for Desktop :

If it's a desktop PC, erasing the cmos memory will usually clear it.

Steps:

1. Power off the computer and make sure that it is unplugged.

2. Open up your computer case. You need physical access to the motherboard to complete this procedure.

3. Find a circular, (mostly) silver metallic object on the motherboard. This is the CMOS battery.

4. CAREFULLY remove the CMOS battery and leave it out for about 120- 180 seconds. This will flush CMOS memory which stores the BIOS password and all other configuration. (See Warnings)

5. Set the battery back into place and power on the computer.

6. The computer should then warn you that the CMOS configuration could not be found. You can either reconfigure it yourself or restore defaults. Restoring the default configuration should be fine.

7. You will notice that the BIOS password has been cleared and you can boot without it. You may reset the BIOS password to something else by going into the BIOS configuration and setting a new User Password.

Alternate Methos: (More Dificult)

Remove a jumper: There's a jumper on your motherboard that you'll need to identify and remove. Most motherboards make your job easier by actually labeling the correct jumper as "BIOS config" or something similar. (it looks like a small plastic thingy on 2 pins with 1 pin beside it, within a 1" of the battery). If you're having trouble looking for it, look in the motherboard manual.After you have found it, carefuly pull straight up on it, and place it on the 2-3 pins(it was on the 1-2 pins). With the battery removed and the jumper moved, turn the computer on, and check to see if you can get into the bios. If you are able to, turn the computer off, put the jumper back on pins 1-2, and put the battery back in. Lastly put the case together and you are done.

Note: Don't forget to configure the BIOS (if you know how) after this process. If you you don't know how, just hold the "delete" button when starting your PC and when the blue screen appears, find the load safe defaults settings and press:

* ENTER button
* Y button
* F10 button
