How To Make Bootable USB Through CMD


Having a bootable USB is very essential, especially if you are a Netbook user. Using bootable USB to install an operating system (OS) not only makes the installation faster, but also saves a DVD.
Creating or using an USB drive to install Windows operating systems is very easy if you follow the below mentioned steps:

Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.

Coming back to bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.
1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.
2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hitCtrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.
Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 2.
4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.
SELECT DISK 2
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT




Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “J” as my optical (DVD) drive letter and “M” as my USB drive letter.
6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
J:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “J” is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 M:
(Where “M” is your USB drive letter)




7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.

Convert Windows XP SP2 into SP3 without any setup program: Simple trick


These days the technology is changing very rapidly and with in a short span of time we have to update with the new patches ans supplement for several software, though these are always in the favor of the end user but most of the time we just don’t want to implement these latest changes. Like me, I wanted to install Microsoft Visual studio 2010, which requires windows SP3 installed to run it but I just don’t want to do so. So should i left it or there are any alternatives… Yes I have found one… And it is described below:

As for most of the programs they usually look into the info about the system status into the registry file to locate the software and patches which decides their performance. So here is the trick to fool such programs which requires Windows XP SP3 patch by altering the Windows XP SP2 version info. To do so go to windows run command (Using windows key +R) and then, typeregedit to open Registry Editor And Click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.





So now you have registry editor opened then only browse to the following key:

Now follow These steps to goto the KEY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Windows


System>CurrentControlSet>Control



Control>Windows



Double Click on the CSDVersion that is on the Right side
and modify “CSDVersion” from “0×00000200” (SP2) to the Windows XP SP3 value of “0×00000300” and reboot




Change the Value From 200 To 300 And Reboot To see the changes


Use your USB flash drive as virtual RAM


Today I´m gonna show you how to use a USB thumb drive as a virtual RAM device for your PC.
The thumb drive I'm using is a 4 GB from Kingston. The size should be less than 4 GB.
Follow the screenshots below to go through theSteps.

Step 1:
Rename your thumb drive  as "RAM DRIVE", so you can see that it is the one which is used as RAM.

Step 2:
Delete all the stuff one the pen drive. Look also after hidden once.




Step 3:
Right click on "My Computer" --> Properties

Step 4:
click on "Advanced Tab" -->"Settings" (under performance)




Step 5:
click on "Advanced" -->  "Change"



Step 6:
Click on your thumb drive above  --> "Custom Size"  -->
you can see the size of your flash drive (in this case 3844Mb)
calculate: size of flash drive - 5 Mb
in this case: 3844- 5 = 3839
Now type this size in the first box and also In the second box type the same Size (see picture) -->
Click "Set" and "OK"



Step 7:
Click "Apply", click not "Cancel" or  "OK".
After you have clicked "Apply", click "OK".
Restart your computer.



Warning:
Don´t pull out your thumb drive after you made these changes, because it´s being used as virtual RAM device. It may crash your computer if you pull out your thumb drive. Do it on your own Risk

If your computer didn´t get really faster or you have other reasons to remove the USB thumb drive than take the following steps:
Go to step 6 and choose your USB thumb drive, than click "no paging file" --> "Set" -->"OK" --> "Apply"



Done... :))

In these typical methods you have to first upload the file on some kind of server line RapidShare.com,Megaupload.com etc and then share uploaded file link with other in order to download the file.

Speedup Youtube Videos Buffering 3 Times Faster

We all love YouTube as it gives us the power to learn, listen our favorite music and some times pass time by watching funny videos. YouTube is the world’s no.1 online videos sharing website with over million new videos uploaded daily. Thisnumber tell us that how much influence YouTube has over internet users and if someone cannot have access or very limited access due to the slow internet connection than its very disappointed. But there are certain ways through which you can really improve the buffering speed of YouTube videos so that you can enjoy watching videos on slow connections too. Infect by doing these windowstricks i was able to improve my videos buffering speed up-to 3 times faster.

1. Speed up your Internet connection.

Not many people know that they increase the internet connection speed up-to 20% which will definitely increase the loading of YouTube videos. You may be wondering how this is possible. The answer is very simple, Microsoft windows kept or steals 20% bandwidth of your internet connection to there activities like Update, Sending error reports etc. So if we change some registry values in our windows than we can bring back this speed so that we enjoy 100% of our internet speed.
Click on start button ans than select RUN. Type “gpedit.msc” in Run box.
Select Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Network >>Qos Packet Scheduler >> Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on limit Reservable Bandwidth and then select enable and edit the bandwidth to Zero.
You will not find “gpedit.msc” in Windows 7 Starter and Basic by default so you have to first download the installer from here. Install it and now you will be able to find this in windows.

2. Enable YouTube Feather.

Some time ago YouTube launched YouTube Feather beta for its users with low internet bandwidth so that they can enjoy faster page loading speeds. For this to activate you have to first login into your YouTube account and than visit YouTube Feather Beta page. Click on Join the Feather beta link at the bottom of the page and start searching videos. You will see a clear difference in page loading.
But Feather Beta has also some limitations like you cannot see or post comments. You cannot like or Dislike the video which means that you can only watch the video. Also YouTube will only suggest you 5 videos related to the one you are watching.

3. Use YouTube DNS.

By default our computer’s network card settings are set to Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically which in many cases is good but when it comes to YouTube buffering its better to use YouTube DNS in order to speed up your buffering. Open your Network card DNS settings page via Networking menu in Control Panel and set these values.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

4. Install SpeedBit Video Accelerator.

Unfortunately only doing above mention steps or not enough if you want ground braking results. Install SpeedBit Video Accelerator which is a free software. Install it and after that it will automatically do its magic and you can enjoy watching HD videos with out any delays. Not only is increases the buffering speed but you can also save videos from more than 115 videos haring websites with just 1 click of a button.
