One way to Partition a USB Flash Drive from Windows XP and mark it active "bootable". Windows detects Flash Drives as " Removable Disks " and flash drives are typically shipped formatted as a "Super Floppy" (USB-FDD without a partition table) .

How I  Restored GRUB2 after a Windows 7 Install .  GRUB2  (Grand Unified Bootloader)  is a universal bootloader used by Ubuntu and other Linux Distributions. If you have a Linux Distribution installed on a partition, and attempt to  install Windows alongside it, your GRUB bootloader will be overwritten by the Windows bootloader, and your computer will only boot into Windows. Recovering the GRUB2 Bootloader  after a Windows Install  is simple. When finished, your Bootloader should detect all installed Operating Systems and automatically add a bootable menu item for each of them.

How to Restore GRUB2 after installing Windows : Boot from an Ubuntu Live CD or Live USB Once up and running,  Open a Terminal   Type  sudo su  (press...

In this article, I hope to compile a complete list of all the different methods and tricks that I’ve used to get the last bit of juice out of a slow PC. Whether you are using an old PC or the latest and greatest in hardware, you can still use some of these to make your PC run faster. Note that since I write blogs, I have previously written about many performance tips already which I will link back to throughout. If I have not written about it, I’ve throw in a link to a relevant article from some of my other favorite sites. This list is in no particular order, just written in the order that I could think of them. There are probably a lot of great tweaks and perfo...
