  • Resurrect Your Old PC
    Resurrect your old PCs Resurrect your old PC Nostalgic for your old beige boxes? Don’t let them gather dust! Proprietary OSes force users to upgrade hardware much sooner than necessary: Neil Bothwick highlights some great ways to make your pensioned-off PCs earn their keep. ardware performance is constantly improving, and it is only natural to want the best, so we upgrade our H system from time to time and leave the old ones behind, considering them obsolete. But you don’t usually need the latest and greatest, it was only a few years ago that people were running perfectly usable systems on 500MHz CPUs and drooling over the prospect that a 1GHz CPU might actually be available quite soon. I can imagine someone writing a similar article, ten years from now, about what to do with that slow, old 4GHz eight-core system that is now gathering dust. That’s what we aim to do here, show you how you can put that old hardware to good use instead of consigning it to the scrapheap. So what are we talking about when we say older computers? The sort of spec that was popular around the turn of the century. OK, while that may be true, it does make it seem like we are talking about really old hardware. A typical entry-level machine from six or seven years ago would have had something like an 800MHz processor, Pentium 3 or similar, 128MB of RAM and a 20- 30GB hard disk. The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because that’s what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my loft, right next to my faithful old – but non-functioning – Amiga 4000.

  • Free Dmin Password Download Windows 10 3 Ways on How to Crack Administrator Password on Windows 10/8/7/XP
    free dmin password download windows 10 3 Ways on How to Crack Administrator Password on Windows 10/8/7/XP. Password is a very important security feature that lets you protect your important files from unauthorized users. If you have multiple accounts on your computer, then your administrator account will be the main account. To stop unauthorized users from gaining access to your important files, you would have likely set up a password to your administrator account. But what happens when you forget your administrator account password. You get a computer in which you can't go to the desktop or access your files. When you want to crack administrator password , then you will need the tricks to crack your administrator account password so that you can get access to your computer. Part 1. How to Crack Administrator Password Using CMD Part 2. Crack Administrator Password on Windows with Software Part 3. How to Crack Administrator Password Without Software. Part 1. How to Crack Administrator Password Using CMD. CMD or command prompt is an administrative tool in the Windows operating system. The command prompt is a command line tool that looks like MS-DOS and thus can be difficult to use for beginners. You can use various commands and utilities in command prompt to fix various system errors and issues. So it is no wonder that it can help crack administrator password. What you need for operating CMD is a little bit of skill and knowledge of the right commands. Command prompt not really shows you the old password, instead lets you reset the password.

  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.

Thus, the security of the stored data is extremely important. Conventionally, there are two methods of storage of the data, the first being hiding the data and the second being encryption of the data. However, finding out hidden data is simple, and thus, is very unreliable. The second method, which is encryption, allows for accessing the data by only the person who encrypted the data using his passkey, thus allowing for higher security. Typically, a file system is implemented in the kernel of the operating systems. However, with an increase in the complexity of the traditional file systems like ext3 and ext4, the ones that are based in the userspace of the OS are now allowing for additional features on top of them, such as encryption-decryption and compression.
