Make your USB drive free from virus

Today every one is affraid of pen drive.Every computer user consider it as a monster. Here is something that could change your attitude towards pendrive.

Here i am going to show you how to make your pendrive free from virus.

First, you have to know how much free space is left on the USB drive. Plug in the drive, go to My Computer, right click on the drive letter and select Properties.Take note of the “Free space” that is in bytes.My USB drive has 1,300,594,688 free space, so I will need to create a dummy file that has the exact file size.


usb drive properties

The best and easiest way is to use fsutil, a command line tool included in windows. Open up command prompt from Start Menu > Accessories and type the following command:


fsutil command

You will see that your USB flash drive’s LED is blinking meaning the file is being created.Now my pendrive has 0 free space and virus won,t be able to get in. You can change 1300594688 to the size that you want in bytes. F: is the letter of my USB flash drive and IamDummy is the file name.When you want to copy files into USB removable drive, simply delete dummy file.When you’re done ,create the dummy file again using the fsutil command.


Dummy file

If you’re looking for a graphical tool to create dummy fake files, here are a few that I found. Some are slower, and some with NTFS restriction,

I hope you find this useful.

How To | Installing Windows XP and Ubuntu through pendrive

This tutorial will teach you how to create a bootable windows XP/ubuntu(any linux) pen drive and install XP/ubuntu(any linux) using this bootable pen drive.
Why would anyone want to install Windows XP from a pen drive??

1. May be their CD drive isn’t working properly like mine, or
2. They don’t want to waste money on a CD

More over installation from a flash drive is faster compared to a CD.
Before we go on with the tutorial here’s what you’ll need

1. 1 USB flash drive, 1GB or larger
2. 1 Windows XP installation disc
3. Assorted files that I’ll describe as we go along.
4. Note: Your BIOS should support usb boot, some older computers may not support USB boot.

Preparing the flash drive
First up, we need to prepare the flash drive.

1. Download and unzip this file, which should contain 2 folders: 1 titled Bootsect, and the other USB_prep8.
2. Navigate to the USB_prep8 folder and click on usb_prep8.cmd. This will bring up a Windows console window.

3. Press any key to continue and a PeToUSB window will open.
  1. Make sure your flash drive is selected, and click start to format your flash drive.
  2. When the format is complete, click OK, but do not close the PeToUSB window or the Windows Console.
  3. Open a new console window by typing “cmd” into the run box in the Windows Start Menu.
  4. opening Command Prompt

    opening Command Prompt

  5. Find your Bootsect folder (if you’re not used to DOS commands, you can type “dir” to list directories and files, type “cd foldername” to navigate to a folder name – called foldername in this example, and if there’s a long folder name you can save time by typing the “cd” and just the first few letters and then hitting the Tab key to fill in the rest of the name).

    Changing directory on a command prompt

  6. Once you’re in the Bootsect folder, type “bootsect.exe /nt52 g:” if “g” is the letter assigned to your flash drive. If it’s E, then change the letter to e. If it’s Z, make it z. Get it?
  7. When this is done, you should see a message letting you know that the bootcode was updated, and you can close this console window (but not the other console window).
  8. Close the PeToUSb Window, but make sure not to close the remaining console window yet
  9. You should now see a list of 8 options in the console.
  10. Select one and find the drive with your Windows installation disc.

    Making a bootable USB

  11. Select 2 and pick a random drive letter (but not one that’s already on your PC, since this will be a virtual drive used for copying your files).
  12. Select 3 and enter the drive letter for your USB flash drive.
  13. Select 4 and follow the rest of the on-screen directions and you should be all set.

The process should take about 15-20 minutes. When it’s done, you should have a bootable USB stick that you can use to install Windows XP the same way you would if you had a CD/DVD drive.
A few notes here. First of all, there’s a chance you may get down to step 15 and the program will tell you that it can’t create the virtual drive. This may happen if you’ve already gone through the whole process and are trying to do it again to fix problems. The solution seems to be rebooting your computer and trying again. Or at least that’s what worked for me.
Second, if you use NLite to shrink/slipstream/otherwise modify your Windows XP installation file, make sure you do not remove “manual installation files,” or your USB stick will be pretty much useless.

Once your usb drive is ready, go to your bios and set USB to first position in boot order. Now plug the usb and restart.

Make sure you back up your important documents and files, firefox bookmarks, and drivers if you lost your drivers cd.

This post explains you how to backup your drivers easily

{{{{


Finding drivers is a hassle if you loose your drivers cd, especially in case of laptops. My laptop came with useless shit vista, I was lucky enough to find a good tutorial to guide me through the downgrade process. There came the tough job after installing XP, installing the drivers for my hardware. There were around 20 setups to be installed, which takes more than an hour. I really hate installing those 20+ drivers manually, Wouldn’t it be great if there is a single setup file for all the drivers??

Luckily there is one such utility, Driver Genius If you have a computer already loaded with all the drivers, this software can backup all the drivers into a one click installer, this installer will make your life easy when you format your computer next time.

This software has lot many other features other than creating a one click installer, with this software you can

  • Quickly backup drivers installed in system. It can compress the backup drivers to a zip file, self extracting file or an independent executable auto installer program.
  • You need not install drivers one by one after reinstalling Operating System. Just need only one click you can install all your backup drivers automatically. You can also install drivers in command mode silently. If you need install drivers on multiple PC with the same hardware configuration, Driver Genius can save your much time to reinstall system.
  • Are you still using an old version or beta version drivers? Those faulty drivers always cause compatibility problem. They are the biggest hidden trouble that cause system crash. A suitable drivers can upgrade 50% or even more system performance . There are more than 30,000 devices drivers information in Driver Genius Database that including Motherboard, Sound card, Video card, Network card, Modem, Mouse, Keyboard, Scanner, Printer, Digital device etc. All you need to do is one click, Driver Genius will find out all drivers that need updating. All drivers we offer are official version or WHQL version, you can use them without any compatibility worries.
  • There could be some leftover drivers in your system because of changing hardware or updating drivers. Driver Genius can find out these useless drivers quickly and uninstall them.
  • You can synchronize your database with driverGenius download server to get the newest version drivers by Liveupdate program.

Note: Make sure your computer is free from viruses before making a backup of your drivers, else the virus may come along with the drivers.

Easiest way to get traffic to your web site | Digg and StumbleUpon

For your information ,Stumbleupon and DIGG are social bookmarking websites which are useful to catch upon some new websites and other things in whichever category you want.They can be, if properly used, a very potent weapon for getting a good amount of traffic for your website.Having said that,I would like to add that if your content is not at par, the traffic from these sites is unstable and they will usually run away as soon as they come.If you want to check your stats, Google Analytics is the way.Check the bounce rate there.Anyways,coming back to the point , if you want some good and heavy traffic then you can use the services of these kind of social bookmarking sites. For an example, If your website gets to the front page of digg for 10 minutes, you are likely to get 10,000 page views . But well, there is a problem.There would be many sites on the front page(if not all) ..So what would make your web page or story stand out?Why will people see your webpage? Why will they even bother to click on that ? The fact is that they wont do that themselves.You will compel them to do that.Follow these tips which I think should help you :)

1) Make sure you write a good title , a good description to make, in fact compel, people to come and see your webpage.

2) When visitors come,dont disappoint them.Have some good content and information so that they consider your site worth visiting. Never break your words.

3) If powerful DIGG users like Kevin Rose DIGG you , then you are very likely to get many many more diggs in the next few seconds. Try that way :)

4) If you have some CMS like a blog or something, there are some mods available for DIGG , Stumble, Technorati and similar kind of buttons.They are very likely to help you.Get them!

5) There is one thing that is often overlooked and that is the time of submission.You should submit your story or webpage at that time when most of your friends are online so that they can DIGG or stumble for you.It is useless to submit when you know that it is going to be buried sooner than later.

At last, I would again repeat, these are “unstable” means of getting traffic.If you want some serious traffic, go for Search Engine Marketing and other practices.
