Laptop Formatte

January 18th, 2008

Acer travel mate 201T raghavsr

Today one of my classmate called me and said that she needed to format a laptop, Its a long time since i’ve formatted a laptop.I felt bored after the long pongal holidays, so i agreed. As usual i started the laptop checking for the configuration, Damn too slow processor and other things were too much less specs. I had got only my Windows xp for the installation, so made up my mind to format and install, how dumb would i look. The UE ran well and the installation went fine but it took too long in this Acer travelmate 201T but it took so long that i manged to switched off the laptop as the tiredness swallowed me. Tomorrow is the day where i have to do the same thing., Damn!

Edit: Later then i formatted and installed windows 2000 and then i had to download the drivers for the laptop from the internet to install them,.

When infected, these type of files will act as a downloader when executed and download the W32/Fujacks virus.

DVD Burning Failed ! Damn!

October 15th, 2007

Nero Error Image Screenshot
I have been known to collect and burn data. All the disc’s contain a signature of Myself. My LG DVD-RAM 16x DVD WRITER is the coolest one which hardly gave any error till date. I was pushed to a situation where i had to burn the same data again and again since i have no idea where my discs are going ! Now, while i burn a few discs surely fail due to various reasons like poor disc quality, scratches or dirt ! I have always pissed by these failing discs as i’ve lost the money completely there, while i could have spent the money somewhere else….
I had asked myself what to do with all those discs that had gone waste? I used a few to play, a stand for the hot served Tea , then a few times intentionally renamed as some softwares and given to college mates who bug me for discs.
But this is the time i realised that those disc’s can be reused by just burning a multi-session disc, and i tried this…..
