booting xp from usb

Almost everyone who has worked with computers for any lengthof time at all has run into at least one situation in which a problem left a PCunbootable. What if you could return the machine to a bootable state just byinserting a USB flash drive though? Believe it or not, it is actually possibleto install a bootable copy of Windows XP onto a flash drive and then boot a PCoff of the flash drive. From there, you can use applications that you haveinstalled on the flash drive (anti virus, anti spyware, disk repair, etc.) to fix the PC's problem. In this article, I will show you how.

What's the catch?

As with most cool new techniques, there are a few catches.For starters, not every PC is capable of booting from a USB flash drive. Forthe most part, computers manufactured within the last two years are generallyable to boot from a flash drive. Older systems may require a BIOS update, ormight not be able to boot from a flash drive at all.
Another catch is that not every flash drive will get the jobdone. The primary factors that limit your use of a particular flash drive arecapacity and speed. Technically, speed isn't really a limiting factor, butbooting Windows will be painfully slow unless you use a flash drive thatsupports USB 2.0.
The flash drive's capacity is actually a limiting factorthough. Surprisingly though, there are size limits on both the upper and lowerend. Your flash drive can't be too large or too small. There isn't really adocumented minimal size for a flash drive. You just need something large enoughto hold Windows XP and a few applications. As you probably know, Windows XPnormally consumes over a gigabyte of disk space. Later I will show you how touse a free utility to trim the excess fat off of Windows XP and make it a wholelot smaller. Even so, I still recommend that your flash drive be at least aminimum of 256 MB in size.
As I mentioned, there is a maximum size for the USB flashdrive that you can use. Currently, USB flash drives exist in sizes of up to 4GB, and 8 GB flash drives are expected to be available by the end of the year.As nice as it would be to have 8 GB to play with, the flash drive that you usefor this project can be no larger than 2 GB. The reason for this is because youwill have to format the flash drive using the FAT-16 file system, which has a 2GB limit. Presently, you are stuck using FAT-16 because most computers will notrecognize a flash drive as being bootable if the drive is formatted withanything other than FAT-16.

Preparing your Windows installation CD

One of the requirements for creating our bootable USB flashdrive is a Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installation CD. If your Windows XPinstallation CD doesn't already include Service Pack 2, then you will have tomake a CD that includes Service Pack 2 through a technique called slipstreaming.

Other requirements

In addition to your Windows XP installation CD, there are acouple of other things that you are going to need. For starters, you will needthe HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. You can download this tool for free.
Another utility that you are going to need is Bart'sPreinstalled Environment Bootable Live Windows CD / DVD, or BartPE for short.You can download this utility for free from the BartPE Web site.
In addition to the software requirements, you must verifythat the PC that you will be using to create the Windows deployment has 1.5 GBof free hard disk space (minimum) and supports booting from a USB device. Ialso strongly recommend that the PC be running Windows XP Service Pack 2. Priorto Service Pack 2, Windows XP sometimes had trouble interacting with USBstorage devices.

Formatting the flash drive

Now that you have all of the prerequisites taken care of, it'stime to actually start setting up our flash drive. The first step in doing so,as strange as it sounds, is to format the flash drive. Windows will actuallylet you format a flash drive in the same way that you format a floppy disk.However, formatting a flash drive in this way will not work for this project.Furthermore, using Windows to format a flash drive directly has been known todestroy some types of flash drives.
Instead, you must format the flash drive by using the HP USBDisk Storage Format Tool that you downloaded earlier. To do so, simply open theutility, select the device followed by the FAT file system option and clickStart.
Once the device has been formatted, you must make itbootable. To do so, you must copy the BOOT.INI, NTLDR, and NTDETECT from theroot directory of your PC's boot drive to the flash drive. These files arehidden by default, so you will either have to configure Windows Explorer toshow hidden files (including protected operating system files) or you will haveto open a Command Prompt window and use the COPY command to copy the files.
If you choose to use the Windows Explorer method, then openInternet Explorer and enter C: into the address bar so that you are looking atyour local hard drive. Next, select the Folder Options command from the Toolsmenu. When the Folder Options properties sheet opens, select the View tab. Now,just select the Show Hidden Files and Folders and deselect the Hide Extensionsfor Known File Types and the Hide Protected Operating System Files check boxes.Click OK to continue.

Booting from the USB flash drive

Now that you have formatted your USB flash drive and installedthe boot files onto it, the next thing that you must do is to configure your PCto allow you to boot from the flash drive. This is all done through thecomputer's BIOS Setup. I can't give you specific instructions for this part,because every computer is different. I can give you a few pointers though.
You can access your computer's BIOS by pressing a specifickey immediately after you turn the PC on. The key varies, but it is usuallyeither [F1], [F2], or [Delete]. Once you are in the BIOS Setup, you shouldverify that all of your computer's USB options are enabled. This might includethings like support for legacy USB devices or support for USB 2.0. If there isa time out setting for USB devices, you should set it to the max to insure thatthe system doesn't time out while waiting on the USB device to boot.
Next, find the section on boot device priority. Normally, aUSB flash drive (which is usually listed as USB-HDD, but may be listed as aremovable device) will have a very low boot priority. If the USB flash drive'sboot priority is lower than the hard disk (listed as HDD) then the only timethe computer would ever boot off of the USB flash drive is if the system wereto fail to boot from the hard disk. You must therefore rearrange the bootdevice priority so that the flash drive has a higher priority than the harddrive.

Configuring Windows

Now that we have finally made it through all of the prepwork, it's time to start setting up Windows. As you have probably alreadyguessed, the process of installing Windows to a flash drive is quite a bitdifferent from your normal, run of the mill installation. There are a couple ofreasons for this.
For starters, a full blown Windows XP deployment takes upover a Gigabyte of hard disk space. When you are installing to a flash drive,disk space is a scarce commodity. Even if you have over a Gigabyte of space onyour flash drive, you probably don't want to use it all on Windows. It would benice to have room to install a few applications. Therefore, you need to trimthe excess fat off of Windows.
The other reason why the installation process is sodifferent from the usual Windows installation is because Windows Setup is notdesigned to install Windows to a flash drive. You therefore have to configureWindows using an alternate method.
The PEBuilder utility that you downloaded earlier can takecare of both of these issues. PEBuilder is designed to create a build ofWindows XP (or Windows Server 2003) that does not take up as much space as afull blown installation. Once you create this new build, you can copy it to theflash drive. For right now, I will show you how to create a basic Windows buildand copy it to the memory stick. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult toinstall applications once Windows is up and running. Therefore, after I showyou how to create a basic Windows build, I will show you how to create a buildthat includes some applications.
Begin the process by opening PEBuilder. When you openPEBuilder, you will see a screen similar to the one that's shown in Figure A.Simply enter the path to the Windows installation files (the ones from yourWindows XP with Service Pack 2 installation CD). Next, verify that the CreateISO Image and the Burn to CD check boxes are not selected and then click the Buildbutton. PEBuilder will now create the new Windows build.
Figure A

 
















You must use PEBuilder to create a Windows build that will work with aflash drive.
Now, it's time to copy Windows to the flash drive. To do so,you will have to use a special batch file that's included with PEBuilder. Opena Command Prompt window and navigate to c:\pebuilder313\plugin\peinst. Now,insert an empty flash drive into the computer's USB port and then execute thefile PEINST.CMD. You will now see a menu appear as shown in Figure B.
Figure B

 PEBuilder uses a batch file to install Windows onto a flash drive.
Type 1 and press [Enter] and you will be prompted to enterthe path to the build that you have created. Enter C:\pebuilder313\BartPE. Now,type 2, press [Enter], and you will be prompted for the target path. Enter thedrive letter that Windows has assigned to your USB flash drive. After doing so,the menu is updated as shown in Figure C. The menu now displays the source pathand the destination drive. Type 5 and press [Enter] to install Windows to theflash drive.
Figure C

Use menu option 5 to install Windows to the flash drive.

Installing applications

Now that I have shown you how to create and install a basicWindows build, I want to talk for a moment about how you can add an applicationto the build (prior to creating it). ThePEBuilder program comes pre-configured to support a number of common Windowsapplications, but does not come with the applications themselves.
The reason why installing applications can be a little bittricky is because most Windows applications modify the Windows registry. Thebuild that you are creating is basically a collection of installation files,and the build itself does not contain a registry (the registry gets createdwhen Windows is installed onto the flash drive). As such, PEBuilder uses a sortof registry emulator.
If you go to the C:\PEBUILDER313\PLUGIN folder, you will seesub folders for a number of different applications. If you open one of theseapplication folders, you will see that the folder contains an INF file and aFILES folder. The INF file contains all of the information that would normallygo into the registry, and the FILES folder stores all of the program's files.
To see how this works, let's install an application that I'msure most of you are familiar with; Nero. Begin by installing Nero onto themachine that's running PEBuilder, as if you planned to run Nero locally on thatmachine. When the installation completes, copy all of the files from C:\ProgramFiles\ahead\Nero to C:\pebuilder313\plugin\nero burning rom\files. In thisparticular case, the nero burning rom folder is the folder that has been setaside for the Nero application. The Files sub folder is intended to store Nero'ssystem files.
Now, you must take care of Nero's registry entries. To doso, go to the C:\pebuilder313\plugin\nero burning romfolder and open the PENERO.INF file using Notepad. As I explained earlier, theINF file in an application's folder is used to store the application's registryentries. For Nero and all of the other applications that PEBuilder predefines,the INF file is pre-configured. You just have to make a few changes that arespecific to your system.
In this particular case, the PENERO.INF file is designed tosupport both Nero versions 5.x and 6.x. Initially, the lines for both versionsare commented out. You must therefore determine which version you have and thenremove the semi colon from the beginning of the lines that apply to thatversion. If you look at Figure D, you can see how the two versions areseparated.
Figure D

An application's registry entries are stored in an INF file.
Once you uncomment the appropriate lines, just replace "YourName", "Your Company Name" and "Your Serial Number"with your name, your company's name, and your Nero product key. Save the file,and your set to go. The next time that you click the Build button, Nero will beincluded in the build.

Putting XP in your pocket

Running Windows from a flash drive isn't an exact science.Sometimes the process just doesn't work and there is no good reason why. Asmore PCs start to support booting from USB devices though, USB boots shouldbecome more standardized, and the technique should become more reliable.

how make internet faster

Did you know you can make your high-speed Internet access even faster than it already is without spending any money?

Often, people are so happy with how much faster and convenient their new high-speed Internet is compared with old fashioned dial-up, it never occurs to them to verify they are getting all the speed they are paying for. I'm going to show you how to make sure you're getting every 'bit' (pun intended) of Internet performance you're paying for!

Here is a prepared a series of short video tutorials, along with a speed test: 

• Part 1 of speeding up your Internet connection  
• Part 2 of speeding up your Internet connection  

If you have a bill or contract agreement available from your cable provider, see what Internet speed you are paying for. There should be a reported upload speed (the maximum speed of how fast you can send data) and a reported download speed (the maximum speed of how fast you can receive data.)

If you cannot find this information, you can always contact your cable company’s technical support, via telephone or email, and ask for this information. Mostly, you are interested in the download speed, as most consumers use their Internet connections to receive much more information then they will ever send.

Next, we need to determine how fast your Internet is now. There are numerous Web sites that offer to measure your Internet speed for free.

The simplest site is to use InternetFrog.com. Click on the "Quick Tools" link for "Broadband Speed" and you will soon see the results of your test. It displays this information relative to other users so you can get a good idea of how you stack up.

(Other tests that go into more detail and are more involved include tests from DSLreports.com and Speakeasy.net, but the InternetFrog site is a good first place to start.)

Please note: Each time you test your Internet speed, expect to get a different result. This is because millions of people are using the Internet at the same time. Some servers will report faster speeds than other servers. I recommend running the same test three times from the same server to determine your 'average' speed.

Now that you've determined your average Internet speed, here are four free things you can do to boost the speed of your Internet connection right now:

1. Start Internet Explorer. Click on "Tools," then "Internet Options," then select the "Connections" tab and click the "LAN settings" button. If you see any check marks in any of the options listed, please uncheck them. Ensure everything is this window is NOT selected, as shown in the example below, then click "OK."

2. Rebuild your Winsock – Windows uses something called "Windows Sockets" or "Winsock" to control the input and the output of data through a network connection. The Winsock can often become clogged with Spyware and other miscellaneous software knowingly and/or unknowingly acquired through every day "normal" Internet usage. Regardless of the condition of your Winsock, you can safely reset it (whether you need to or not), using this free Winsock rebuilding utility. Please note: You will need to re-boot your PC immediately after running this application, so please be sure to save all of your work and close any running programs before you begin this procedure.

3. TweakTester – By default, Windows XP sets something called the "Receive Window" (sometimes referred to as RWIN) to a value much too low for today's modern high-speed Internet demands. By changing this low default value to a specific larger number, your Internet performance should improve. To determine what value your Receive Window should be, use the free Tweak Tester utility. Scroll down the Web site until you see the Tweak Tester, as shown in the following example:

If you do not see the screen shown above, you may not have Java installed. Java is free and easily installed. Then repeat this step.

Next, click "Start" on the Tweak Tester tool and wait while it sends data to your PC. Once complete, the "Results" button will become clickable. When this happens, please click the "Results" button.

The next screen is going to ask you what kind of high-speed Internet access you have (DSL, Cable, etc…), what download speed you are paying for, what operating system you use and what your connection type is. In the example below, we have selected Cable as our high-speed Internet service, 10 megabits per second (entered as 10000 kilobits per second as shown below) as our speed, Windows XP as our operating system and our connection as normal.

Once you've entered the requested information, click the "recommend" button. The Tweak Tester results page will then be displayed, similar to this example:

While the results contain a lot of technical information, the summary listed below each column is all you need to understand. An exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle, such as in the first column of the example above, is drawing your attention to a setting that needs to be changed for better performance. The happy face, shown at the bottom of the second column, means everything in that column is configured correctly. You'll notice the top of the third column says "unpingable." This means our firewall is working, and that's a good thing! The third test is unnecessary for our purposes here. However, if the third test does NOT say "unpingable," this means you either have no firewall installed, enabled or properly configured.

Column 1, in our example above, recommends we choose an RWIN between 94900 and 251120. That requires a small, free program they offer called DRTCP. Click on the "download/use DRTCP" link found under column 1.

Run DRTCP and select your network card (not your dial-up modem or your 1394 adapter) from the drop down box located at the bottom of the DRTCP window under "Adapter Settings," as shown in the example below.

Please note: If your cable modem is plugged directly into your PC with a USB cable, be sure to select your cable modem from the drop down list instead.

Next, enter the highest recommended RWIN value next to "TCP Receive Window," ensure that "Window Scaling" is set to "Yes" and then click the "Save" button, as shown in the example below.

A window will appear confirming your settings have been saved. Click OK, then close the DRTCP program and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

When your computer restarts, repeat step 3 and you should see only happy faces (no recommended changes) after running the Tweak Tester this time.

4. Put the pedal to the metal – By now you've probably seen many self-proclaimed Internet speed-boosters advertised for dial-up users. Most folks with high-speed Internet access have never considered the potential usefulness of a Web-accelerator. Sure, your Web pages load fast now, but they can load even faster if you install Google's free Web-Accelerator. Google uses a number of ingenious strategies to get the Web pages you desire on your desktop lickety-split.

Please note: After you install the Google Web-Accelerator, the speed testing sites will not run until you disable it for accurate results. This is why we saved this as the last step. To temporarily disable the Google Web-Accelerator, right-click its icon in your system tray (located by the clock in the lower-right corner of your desktop) and click "Stop Google Web Accelerator.") It will start again automatically when you restart your PC, or you can start it up manually as you would any other program found under your Start Menu.

Summary:

While writing this article, I followed these very steps on my own PC. I have a cable Internet connection with an advertised speed of 7 to 9 Mbps. Rather than averaging, I took the slowest speed test and compared it with the fastest speed test after the changes were made. You can see just how dramatic these settings affected my Internet connection. I went from 9 mbps (shown below as BEFORE) to almost 15 Mbps (shown below as AFTER). While these results may not be typical, you should see a marked improvement in your  Internet speed after following these easy steps. The changes are permanent, unlike the air in your tires, so now you can focus on enjoying every 'bit' of high-speed Internet service that you are paying for!

how to upgrade ram on laptop

This guide was developed to instruct readers on the proper procedures for installing memory modules into a laptop computer. It includes step-by-step instructions for the physical installation of a memory module into those laptop systems that have an access panel to the memory modules. Not all laptops have this type of access. If yours does not, then it will probably require installation from an authorized technician.

For additional information about installing computer memory into your computer system, it is recommended that you read any user manuals that came with your computer for specific procedures that may be required. For more information for purchasing memory upgrades for a computer, please refer to the Before You Buy Memory upgrades article.

1.Turn off the computer and remove all power cords from the computer system.

2.Locate the panel used for access to the memory modules. This is generally located on the bottom of the laptop computer. Refer to your laptop instruction manuals for locating the panel.

3.Remove any screws that the panel in place and place somewhere safe to prevent losing it.

4.Remove the panel from the laptop and set aside.

5.If replacing or upgrading an existing memory module, remove the memory modules by undoing and module clamps and gently lifting the edge of the module to a 45-degree angle and then pulling the module out of the slot.

6.Align the notch of the memory module with that of the memory slot and gently insert the module into the slot at a 45-degree angle.

7.Once all the pins are in the slot, gently rotate the module down flat until the clamps lock into the module into place.

8.Replace the memory access panel onto the laptop computer.

9.Replace any screws or fasteners that hold the panel in place.

10.Replace the power cord and power up your computer system.

    Once the memory has been installed into the computer, the physical process is complete. When the computer is powered back up, it may be necessary to go into the computer BIOS to let the system properly detect the new RAM that has been installed in the computer. Please refer to the user manual for the computer system for any additional information.

internet slow

Why is my Internet connection so slow?

This checklist describes common causes for slow Internet connections. A poor-performing connection can be caused by broadband router configuration issues, wireless interference, or any of several other technical issues with your home network. Follow these steps to diagnose slow Internet connections.

1. Broadband Router Settings

As the centerpiece of a network, a broadband router can be responsible for slow Internet connections if configured improperly. For example, the MTU setting of your router will lead to performance issues if set too high or too low. Ensure your router's settings are all consistent with the manufacturer's and your Internet Service Provider (ISP)recommendations. Carefully record any changes you make to your router's configuration so that you can undo them later if necessary.

2. Wireless Signal Interference

Wi-Fi and other types of wireless connections may perform poorly due to signal interference, which requires computers to continually resend messages to overcome signal issues. Household appliances and even your neighbors' wireless networks can interfere with your computers. To avoid slow Internet connections due to signal interference,reposition your router for better performance and change your Wi-Fi channel number.

3. Internet Worms

An Internet worm is a malicious software program that spreads through computer networks. If any of your computers are infected by an Internet worm, they may begin spontaneously generating network traffic without your knowledge, causing your Internet connection to appear slow. Run antivirus software regularly to diagnose and remove these worms from your computers.

4. Running Background Applications

Some software applications you install on a computer run in the background, quietly consuming network resources. Unlike worms, these are programs designed to do useful work. Peer to peer (P2P) programs in particular can heavily utilize your network and cause connections to appear slow. It's easy to forget these applications are running. Always check computers for any programs running in the background when troubleshooting a slow network.

5. Faulty Network Equipment

When routers, modems or cables fail, they typically won't support connections. Certain technical glitches in network equipment, however, adversely affect performance even though connections are maintained. To troubleshoot potentially faulty equipment, temporarily re-arrange and re-configure your gear while experimenting with different configurations. Try bypassing the router, swapping cables and changing network adaptersto isolate the slow performance to a specific component of the system.

6. Service Provider Issues

Internet speed ultimately depends on the service provider. Your ISP may change their network's configuration, or suffer technical difficulties, that inadvertently cause your Internet connection to run slow. ISPs may also intentionally install filters or controls on the network that can lower your performance. Don't hesitate to contact your service provider if you suspect they are responsible for a slow Internet connection.
