  • Illustrated Tutorial: Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive for Windows XP
    Illustrated tutorial: Creating a bootable Version 1.0 February 15, 2007 USB flash drive for Windows XP By Greg Shultz The ability to boot Windows XP from a USB Flash Drive (UFD) offers endless possibilities. For example, you might make an easy-to-use troubleshooting tool for booting and analyzing seemingly dead PCs. Or you could transport your favorite applications back and forth from home to work without having to install them on both PCs. However, before you can create a bootable UFD, you must clear a few hurdles. You saw that one coming didn’t you? The first hurdle is having a PC in which the BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. The second hurdle is having a UFD that that will work as a bootable device and that’s large enough and fast enough to boot an operating system such as Windows XP. The third hurdle is finding a way to condense and install Windows XP on a UFD. If you have a PC that was manufactured in the last several years, chances are that its BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. If you have a good qual- ity UFD that’s at least 512 KB and that was manufactured in the last couple of years, you’ve probably cleared the second hurdle. And once you’ve cleared those first two hur- dles, the third one is a piece of cake. All you have to do is download and run some free soft- ware to create the bootable UFD.

  • Windows NT Architecture Previous Screen Gilbert Held Payoff Windows NT Is a Sophisticated Operating System for Workstations and Network Servers
    50-30-19 Windows NT Architecture Previous screen Gilbert Held Payoff Windows NT is a sophisticated operating system for workstations and network servers. This article helps network managers to understand the communications capability of workstations and servers running on Windows NT, and data base administrators to determine the suitability of this platform for a structured query language (SQL) data base server. Introduction Windows NT is a 32-bit, preemptive multitasking operating system that includes comprehensive networking capabilities and several levels of security. Microsoft markets two version of Windows NT: one for workstations—appropriately named Windows NT Workstation—and a second for servers—Windows NT Server. This article, which describes the workings of the NT architecture, collectively references both versions as Windows NT when information is applicable to both versions of the operating system. Similarly, it references a specific version of the operating system when the information presented is specific to either Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server. Architecture Windows NT consists of nine basic modules. The relationship of those modules to one another, as well as to the hardware platform on which the operating system runs, is illustrated in Exhibit 1. Windows NT Core Modules Hardware Abstraction Layer The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is located directly above the hardware on which Windows NT operates. HAL actually represents a software module developed by hardware manufacturers that is bundled into Windows NT to allow it to operate on a specific hardware platform, such as Intel X86, DEC Alpha, or IBM PowerPC. HAL hides the specifics of the hardware platform from the rest of the operating system and represents the lowest level of Windows NT.

  • Introduction to Windows 7
    [Not for Circulation] Introduction to Windows 7 This document provides a basic overview of the new and enhanced features of Windows 7 as well as instructions for how to request an upgrade. Windows 7 at UIS Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest operating system. Beginning in the fall of 2010, UIS will upgrade all classroom and lab PCs to Windows 7. Any new PC that is ordered will automatically come installed with Windows 7. To request an upgrade, contact the Technology Support Center (TSC) at 217/206-6000 or [email protected]. The TSC will evaluate your machine to see if it’s capable of running Windows 7. (Your computer needs a dual core processor and at least 2 GB of RAM.) Please note that University licensing does NOT cover distribution of Windows 7 for personally owned computers. However, it is available for a discounted price via the WebStore at http://webstore.illinois.edu. What to Consider Before Upgrading There is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7. Therefore, the TSC will take your computer, save your files, and install Windows 7 on a clean hard drive. Please budget a couple days for this process. In some cases, you may have older devices that will not work with Windows 7. While many vendors are providing and will continue to provide drivers for their hardware, in some cases, printers, scanners, and other devices that are more than 5 years old may have issues running on Windows 7. To check the compatibility of your devices with Windows 7, visit the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.

  • Windows Server 2012 Refresh: How to Manage the Migration
    WINDOWS SERVER 2012 REFRESH: HOW TO MANAGE THE MIGRATION A guide to overcoming the challenges during the transition from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 Performing an application inventory 8 Upgrading Active Directory 9 Considering a hardware refresh 12 A move to virtualization 13 Certification, compliance and security 2 “Let’s face it. It’s the applications you’re running that are driving use of Windows Server 2003. Those are the things that are the beginning and end of what the Windows migration is all about.” AL GILLIN Program Vice President for Servers and System Software at IDC 3 INTRODUCTION With support ending for Windows Server 2003 in July 2015, companies need to ensure that their servers will adequately support the latest server OS and critical applications. By upgrading to Windows Server 2012, companies can increase their parallel computing capabilities and gain improved control over power consumption. Upgrading to the latest version of Windows Server brings the opportunity for businesses to lower their operating costs. “It’s an expensive proposition to continue supporting those old operating systems,” said Al Gillin, program vice president for servers and system software at IDC. Running one operating system rather than varieties of Server 2008, 2008 R2 and Server 2003R2 will make IT data centers more efficient. “If you have four different versions in place like that, that makes it more difficult for you to run your infrastructure,” Gillin said. When preparing for a Windows Server migration, companies should test all applications using a software tool such as Dell ChangeBASE before going live in the new OS.

  • Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME Courtesy of Nashville Home Linux Solutions
    Important information for users of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME courtesy of Nashville Home Linux Solutions FACT: As of July 2006, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME (Millennium Edition). What does this mean for you? Microsoft©s end-of-support announcement means that users of Windows 95, 98, and ME will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, and other patches for their computer©s operating system. It also means that future releases of Microsoft software (such as Media Player, Internet Explorer, and Outlook Express) will no longer support these operating systems. Users of these versions of Windows will not benefit from enhanced features and security in these new versions. Why should I be concerned? Windows 95, 98, and ME are based around the DOS operating system, an inherently insecure operating system. Users of DOS-based Windows will become increasingly at risk for viruses, spyware, malware, and system intrusions as new holes and exploits are discovered in these operating systems and the older software that runs on them. In addition, software vendors (including makers of anti-virus and other security products) will be phasing out support for these operating systems now that Microsoft has ended its support.
