Windows Tricks - 1

Today we'll talk about two tricks here.

1) Virtual Diary

You want a quick diary on your pc, but dont want to install a separate program for this purpose. And writing notes in a word processor by giving date-time everytime isn’t a good idea.

Try this:

Open ‘NOTEPAD’.

Type .LOG (remember .log or .Log wont work)

Save the file with any desired any name and close the notepad window.

Now everytime you will try to open this notepad file….the current date and time will be already placed there. So, this way it’ll become a virtual diary.

2) Windows Key + Arrows

Just try them out..

Windows key + Left: docks current window to the left side of the screen.

Windows key + Right: docks current window to the right side of the screen.

Windows key + Up: maximizes and/or restores foreground window.

Windows key + Down: minimizes active window.

Make pen drive bootable for Windows 7

Many people generally go for WinToFlash for making bootable pendrive of Windows 7 but I would rather prefer the following few steps because using WinToFlash is very simple but not effective. There are some simple steps to make bootable pen drive which can be used for installing windows 7 in future as well. For this you need a pen drive having minimum space of 4 Gb and a Installation DVD of Windows 7(or ISO). Now just follow this steps:-

1. First off all you need to format the USB drive / Pendrive:-

Run the command prompt as an Administrator

Now to find the drive number of your USB Drive, you need to type this and press enter every time.

diskpart

list disk

Here you can see the disk listed.Note down the disk number of your pendrive for the next step. Generally if we have one hard disk and only one pendrive attached to a system the it comes out to be disk 1. (it can be different). Lets consider disk 1 for this case.

Now type all these words to format the drive:

select disk 1

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=NTFS

(wait for few seconds)

assign

exit

Now the disk partition program will exit and you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable.

2. Now to make the bootable pendrive, follow this steps:-

Now insert the Windows 7 Installation DVD and to your DVD drive.

Now assume that DVD drive is F and Pendrive as H

Now type F:CD BOOT

Now type this command bootsect /nt60 H: to update your USB drive with bootmgr code.

Finally copy all the contents from the Windows 7 DVD to your Pendrive.

Here you have created the bootable pendrive. 

Now what you need is to make your BIOS to boot from USB. So follow this steps:-

Insert your pendrive to the PC and reboot the system.

Now Enter the Bios system accordingly by pressing the key delete.This is where you’re on your own since every computer is different. Most BIOS’s allow you to hit a key at boot and select a boot option.

Now select the USB/ Pendrive as the first boot driver.

Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install Windows 7 using that pendrive.

3. For those who want to use WinToFlash, then its a very simple procedure.

Download WinToFlash.

Install it.

Select Win PE option for Windows 7

Select appropriate locations.

Wait for few seconds and you are done with it.

Now I'll share my case with you people as I was able to make pendrive bootable Windows 7 in both cases and it was working on my PC, but whenever I tried to install using USB to my target laptop, WinToFlash method didn't work. So I would prefer the firist method

Alienware M17x : Powerful Enough..!!

Alienware has updated its high-end, 17-inch M17x gaming laptop with some new components, and the result is an incredibly powerful machine. It's been dubbed the Alienware M17x for some time now, but this latest version adds Intel's Core i7 processor for even more power.

Oddly, the 17-inch wide-screen, which is usually a sight to behold on a gaming laptop, is one of the M17x's weaker points. It weighs 5.3kg and measures 406 by 51 by 321mm, so it's really far too big and heavy to move on a frequent basis, except possibly from room to room.

Despite the glossy display, our gaming experience wasn't ruined by annoying reflections, because the M17x's screen is very bright indeed. The M17x will crush your spine with its monumental chassis, and then make your brains dribble out of your nose with its performance.

Even though Alienware found the biggest battery (85Wh) available for the M17x, it couldn't keep up with its battery-guzzling parts, namely the processor and SLI graphics cards. Alienware M17x is the complete package, as its looks can stand in the spotlight with its parts.

Apple iphone 4 Released: Reaching Heights

After months of rumours and speculation, apple has released their latest mobile device, iphone 4.The Apple iPhone 4 will pack a front-facing camera and an app for Apple’s new FaceTime video chat network on its June 24 release, enabling two-way video calls with other iPhone 4 users over a WiFi network. Even within the home, where video calls have been largely confined to desktops and laptops, Apple’s device and others like it will finally put video calling at our fingertips.

Apple is great. Its what all these other little companies try way too hard to compete against. Apple has its faults just like any other business, and to me it's biggest fault is that its such a giant monopoly that once you get once thing in order to get the whole experience you have to buy everything else.

Not to mention the whole flash ordeal they've been having, but it is an exceptional company that clearly knows what they're doing because everyone buys their products. They've been in this business for a long time and has aided in progressing the technology world so give the company the respect it worked for and deserves.

The design of the device itself is made from a chemically strengthened aluminosilicate glass on the back and front with a stainless steel band all the way around. To me this actually looks a lot cleaner than their rounded out shape. Yes that style was different and cool but this is much simpler, cleaner, and more compact. Its a VERY good design in this day's age. The design of the phone isn't a setback. Its actually very wonderful. What I'm noticing is that only actual good designers seem to like the new aesthetics of this phone.
