Windows Severe Damage

January 24th, 2010

Cases around the hard drive more often than Windows on the hard disk is badly damaged so that we can not enter into it. In such cases, the only solution is to reinstall Windows. The problem, often in the hard disk or partition containing Windows is still there are many important files that must be saved. Then, how it?

Use a bootable applications, and can explore (browse) a file on disk is problematic. Again, you can use the Disk Rescue 9.0 Express which we discuss in the first part of this serial article.Very easy to use, you simply follow the wizard (the wizard) from the menu File Transfer Wizard.Unfortunately, this free version can not move these files to CD / DVD. So, you must copy the files to a flash or external hard drive.

Rescue Disk Express but can only work from the CD. If you prefer the process of the flash, use a portable Linux operating system that can boot from flash (live-USB). Almost all Linux distributions have a portable version, but it should be noted that the mounting process (introduction of hard disk contents) often must be done manually. Therefore, we recommend using Puppy Linux distributions because these distributions do the automatic mounting. Size Puppy Linux also only 100MB, so the fit on the flash is small size.

Application Express 9.0 Rescue Disk can be free Donwload here (46MB), while Puppy Linux you can get here (100MB)

January 22nd, 2010

In the disk, there is a file called the MBR (Master Boot Record). This file is located on the first byte and the first sector that was the harddisk.MBR marker disk presence. If the analogy, the MBR is like a map that leads the BIOS to find hard drive. But many things can cause the MBR is damaged, such as a virus or accidentally formatted. If that happens, the operating system lost the signpost marked by the emergence of the message Operating System not found or missing operating system on the screen.

The solution of this problem is to restore the MBR file. The most common way is to make the process of recovery from the Windows CD. boot into the Windows CD and select Repair (by pressing the R button) and enter the Recovery Console. After that, type fixmbr command to restore the MBR file.

For Windows Vista, the same concept although the procedure is slightly different. First, boot into Windows Vista DVD and select Repair Your Computer. When the System Recovery Options appears, select Command Prompt. After the Command Prompt window appears, type Bootrec.exe and press Enter

If the Windows CD either gone anywhere, you can use the application of the Rescue Kit 9.0 Paragon Express artificial. This is a free application that has diverse functions, including restore the MBR. This application is bootable, meaning can be burned to a CD and a source of the boot process. When the system showed signs of loss of MBR, you have to do is boot to the CD containing this Rescue Kit. After that, select Corrector Boot menu, follow the procedures that have been determined, and the case lost MBR should have been resolved.

Asus UX30: Similar Macbook Air

January 20th, 2010

First look at Asus UX30, we immediately thought of the Macbook Air. Section, many similarities between the two. Form chiclet button, large touchpad, and so slim design is the main similarity of both. Asus UX30 weights were only about 1.45 kg, only slightly adrift of the MacBook Air which weighs around 1.36 kg. However, if compared to the MacBook Air, Asus UX30 has a more complete connection. If you open the ports on the left and right, you’ll find a plug HDMI, Ethernet, card reader, 3 USB ports, and mini Display Port.

Why, there is no VGA Out? Actually there is, just have to go through a special converter that is connected to the Display Port. Converter is already provided in the sales package, but it means you have to make sure converter is not left behind if you want to make a presentation.

Another weakness is somewhat disturbing is this notebook battery could not be integrated or removed. This is somewhat difficult because you’re not able to replace the battery at any time or use a spare battery. And with the 3250 mAh battery capacity, this notebook lacks a long breath. When we tested, this notebook lasted just two hours to play HD video and run Battery Eater Classic mode.

But for performance, this notebook worthy thumbs up. Armed with an Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 and 4GB memory, this notebook’s performance is only less than Vaio VGN-TT25GN.

From the first, we were enamored with the UX30 Asus design a chic and modern. Although not original, this notebook will make you look more stylish. Performance was quite good, despite resistance in the battery mode a little disappointing. Asus UX30 own price around U.S. $ 989 without operating system, so a little higher than other thin notebooks.
