There are two ways of cloning a hard disk : hardware cloning and software cloning.1) If you just bought a disk drive in a shop and did not open the box yet, cloning is simple : you go back to the same shop, you give the same amount of money and you get a second disk drive which is exactly the same as the first one.2) If you already installed Microsoft Windows on your hard drive, it's a good idea to clone your c: drive, which is physically a partition on your hard disk. This is a software partition cloning to a file. Ideally, if you have several disks, the file cloning your c: partition is on a separate drive, so in case of hardware failure you loose the original partition and you still have the clone.If you have a single hard drive, the best thing is, during the Windows installation, to put the operating system on a small part of your hard drive (typically use 40 giga for Windows, and the rest of the disk for your data). Then, your Windows disk will traditionnally be named "c:", and your data will be on a different partition, probably named "D:"In this case, "cloning" means make a compressed image of your "c:" partition somewhere on your "D:" disk. So, if you experience a Windows crash, or a virus, or a stupid driver install error, or a worm opening 256 ads windows on your system, simply restore your "c:" disk from the clone image, and your system will be back to it's initial stable state. Another nice example is the fact that a freshly installed Microsoft Windows boots in about 30 seconds, and after some weeks or some monthes you see it needing several minutes to half an hour for booting ; then you restore your disk from it's clone and it boots in 30 seconds again.Of course you need a software for doing that, the most popular ones are Norton Ghost and Acronis. They perform in a very short period of time a complete backup of your c: disk on a file of another disk or another partition, or on a network remote disk, and restore the crashed disk from the backup in case of disaster.And of course the best softwares are also the most expensive ones.Personnally I use a free version name CloneZilla, very efficient end very fast. You boot on a liveCD and you backup the system disk to a data disk, and in case of problem you boot again on the liveCD and you restore the system partition from the clone.Hope this helpedYordan

Since a long time, I have used to have my favorite diagnosis tools on bootable ms-dos floppies. Now floppies are almost nowhere available, so I use a CD-ROM with a ms-dos boot.Usually, the drivers with WinMe floppy work fine.Unfortunately, they do not work with my last system, which has a AHCI CDROM. It boots correctly, I have the A> prompt, but my cd-rom drives are not initialized.Do you know where I can find the ms-dos drivers for the new CD-ROM hardware ?RegardsYordan

What do you agree with ? Which OpaQue opinion are you mentioning today ?

Why safari ? Are you a Mac User ?

You don't need the 30 credits any more, you only need to write down five interesting topics. You can see a short how-to for instance here : http://forums.xisto.com/topic/96785-topic/?findpost= and a full explanation of the system here : http://forums.xisto.com/topic/86546-topic/?findpost=1064322155 roughlyl, you order a "logic plan" at Xisto, exactly as all the paid hosting customers, but the fees are pad by the "cents" coming from your posts. The more interesting your topics and reply posts are, the more cents you get. Each time your reach 100 MyCents it's converted to $1, and you need about $3 per months for a logic plan. So, free hosted members have exactly the same plans as the paid hosting customers.

Do you mean that you used the "control userpasswords" trick and you switched yourself to administrator? Did you see a difference while you were an admin ? In that case it's still worth it.

People come here in order to find a solution. So, if you know how to do this, tell us. Sorry, bot, saying "google it out" is not an acceptable answer.

And in Firefox, in the Option, Tabs, there is a checkbox "warn me when i close several tags". Of course, it's always closed on my PC because I very often click on the general close X instead of clicking on the X closing the single tab I wanted to close (and absolutely NOT the other ones).

You're welcome.By the way, the warnings on your Xisto account are due to your Xisto posts, the warnings on Xisto are due to your Xisto posts.

Fixed.However, please be careful with warnings, spamming posts and copied posts lead to warnings, and too many warnings can leave to a ban.

I think the smartest way would be to say nothing, simply give yourself full admin rights and shut up. Your brother will be happy because he thinks that you are in pain, and you will be happy because your account has admin rights again.

I use Firefox 2, and I see hfbvm's rep. Maybe he started sleeping ?

Your rep is here : http://forums.xisto.com/topic/96784-topic/?findpost= Can't you really see it ?

Seems to be exactly what I want. Thanks, I'll try that way.

I had a look at my private forum, and I saw a guest connected. I had a look at his IP address, did a whois, and found that this guest wascrawl-66-249-73-137.googlebot.com How did this googlebot come to my private website ?Is there a way to prevent these bots from crawling my website ?

Nice reply, nice text, nicely explained.I'm not convinced yet, for that amount of money and such an amount onf disks I would prefer buy one USB disk each year, or a NAS Wifi device.

Then you choose your user icon, double-click on it, it opens a screen with radio-buttons, you choose "this user is an administrator", and the job is done.

So, you are satisfied with carbonite.I have a few monthes free with my new PC, I was just angry because of the pop-up saying "you did not use your free backup facility, you are not safe", maybe I will consider this more friendly next time.

Have a look here, maybe it could help ? http://www.megaleecher.net/Windows_XP_Themes And of course don't forget this : https://www.google.fr/search?q=custom+XP+lolient=firefox-a

Backup, that's the key word.Have an USB disk (if you have a lot of friends) or a second internal disks. Make a ghost backup of your operating system disk, and make disk-to-disk copy of all your personal files (spreadsheets, wordprocessor files, pictures) as frequently as possible: it's just a matter of a link on which to click every day, not more complicated than that. If you see that your USB disk is dying, simply buy another one and restart a fresh backup. If your computer main disk is dying, no problem, you have two full backups.

If you have the administrator password, in a "cmd" command line prompt, type "control userpasswords", and change your account type to administrator.

If you cannot remember, please, try and try again. Also take care, some admins around here hate plagiarism and you can be banned.

Thanks, very interesting, and very useful for most of us. Just a small remark : You forgot the most important part as mentionned in the original article : and of course you forgot to mention that your post is copied, probably from https://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/makemoney.shtml Please remember that some of us hate plagiarism, so when you need to post copied text, plese do not forget the "quote" tags.

Yes, nice, but... where do you put this "link rel" thing ? On your PC ? On the index.html of your swebsite ?
