How to optimize USB drive with multiple OS

You can carry all your favorite Operating systems with you wherever you go and boot from them using the same USB drive.MultiBoot USB is a freeware which can help you to use the multiple OS iso files on the same pen drive.

To use the MultiBoot on your pen drive it must meet some requirements first. You’ll require a FAT32 formatted pen drive and a computer which can boot from a USB device. Prefer using an 8-16 GB pen drive so that you can have more different operating systems on it.

To start off first download the MultiBootISO’s . Run the executable and follow the instructions. Browse to the ISO file you want to load on your USB drive and build the bootable USB using it. You might have to format your pen drive during the process so do take a backup of all your data which is there on the pen drive.

To add more ISO files repeat the same procedure. Restart your PC and set the highest priority for the USB drive to boot from it and done.

What happens when your PC on? IV

Back to the BIOS thing again.It can also have problem itself.What is it?

One common problem you can check for is to make sure that all the devices that are supposed to be attached to the IDE controllers are listed. If not—for example, if you just upgraded your hard drive or added a DVD-ROM drive and you don’t see a reference to them right after your computer turns on—then more than likely there is a connection problem between the IDE controllers on your motherboard and the device itself.

The way to solve it by open up your PC, check the cable connections at both the drive and on the motherboard and, if necessary, replace your IDE cable(s).

One more thing is if you have a SCSI controller installed in your PC, you will also see a message about any BIOS (separate from the main system BIOS) that it has, as well as a listing of all the internal and external SCSI devices attached to it.

So,next what is happen is when the BIOS finishes it work, it hands control of the start up process to some specific files stored in the first sector of your hard drive.

This special area is called the master boot record and it contains critical information about how to start Windows (or any other operating system(s) you may have installed on your PC) as well as the specific files needed to continue the start up process.

Okay let see after all thing have been done and if you’re not having any problems up to this point, and your computer continues to boot, then that means your booting process is fine and what a relief !

What happens when your PC on? III

Is there any POST Problems arise?

First you have to hear that did your computer beep at you when you tried to start it?

As we all know "Power On Self Test" (or POST) check everything from the motherboard to the keyboard. Only after POST is passed does the computer try to start up the operating system. When the POST is successfully completed, the computer beeps once.

If the computer beeps more than once, or if it doesn't beep at all, it means it failed the POST and never even got to the operating system. That indicates a problem with the hardware, or occasionally the BIOS, a small program burned into a read only memory chip (ROM) that controls the most fundamental interaction with the hardware. The BIOS is the program that runs the POST, among other things. If the computer has started successfully before, it's a good bet that your problem is in the hardware.

If the computer beeps more than once it's trying to tell you what's wrong. Each BIOS vendor (such as AMI and VIA) has their own "Beep Codes", but here are some common examples of what the codes mean. For example a long, continuous beep usually means a stuck key on the keyboard or a problem with the system's motherboard.

How to solve it?

Try to check your computer's manual or look on the BIOS company's web site for a chart of what the beeps mean.

How to install RAM

How to install RAM into your computer:

1. First, you need to unplug your computer from the wall and open your computer case to get access to the motherboard.
2. You need to make sure you put the RAM in the right slot. They are sequentially numbered. Refer to your motherboard manual to find out which is slot 0 or slot 1 to find the beginning slot. They are usually labeled on the motherboard itself next to the RAM slots.
3. To install the RAM first make sure it is facing the right direction. It will be keyed so it only goes in one way.
4. In order to install RAM you must first locate where your current RAM is on your motherboard and what it looks like. Chances are there are extra slots next to your current RAM. The great thing about most types of RAM is you can leave your current memory in your computer and place your new RAM in the next available slot.
5. Remove your RAM from its anti-static bag and hold it by the edges. Make sure you have your antistatic wrist band on so that you don't ruin your new RAM.
6. You can only install RAM in one direction. Look on the bottom of the RAM stick. You need to line up the notches in the RAM with the keys in the slot on your motherboard.
7. Make sure the retainer clips for the RAM are all the way open. Place the RAM in the slot and gently push it straight down with your thumbs. You may have to press hard to "set" the RAM correctly. When you press down hard enough the retaining clips on either side of the RAM will snap into place, making a "clicking" sound.
8. Gently place the RAM into the slot and snap in one side at a time. You will feel it click into place when you install it. The plastic clips will hold the RAM in place on each side of the RAM chip.
9. After installing the RAM, power on the system and watch the screen for the memory test to make sure it lists the correct amount of RAM. If it is not the correct RAM it will let you know by displaying an error message or giving you a beep code.

Manual dialing - Internet Connection

To dial using a phone and to be able to let the computer take over at some point you’ll need to have both the telephone and the computer connected to the phone line at the same time. This is no problem when using acoustic couplers, as the coupler is attached to the phone itself. It can be more difficult when connecting with a phone line adapter.

If you are using Windows 95 :

Microsoft has included some convenient features that you can use to simplify manual dialing if you use the Dialup Networking feature of Windows 95 to connect to the Internet. Here’s how to set up an appropriate connection for use with manual dialing.

Open the Dial-up Networking folder usually found at the top level of My Computer that is found on your desktop. Select Make New Connection and name the new connection something appropriate, such as "Manual Dialing." At the bottom of the Make New Connection’s first screen you’ll see your modem listed. Click on the Configure… button below it.

A window will come up with four tabs across the top. Click on the Options tab and then look toward the middle of the window for a section called Dial Control. Place a check mark before the line that reads "Operator assisted or manual dial."

Next click on the tab labeled Connection. Look at the line that reads "Cancel the call if not connected within __ seconds." Place a check before the line if there isn’t one already there and ensure that the number of seconds indicated is set to 60 or more. This is to give you enough time to complete your connection before your modem gives up waiting.

Also while your at the Connection tab, you may want to remove the check before the line that reads "Wait for dial tone before dialing." It doesn’t actually affect this manual dialing procedure, but it’s best to get into the habit of ensuring this line is not checked whenever you will be connecting while abroad so that your modem won’t be confused by unfamiliar dial tones.

Then hit OK to complete your modem configuration. Then hit Next to proceed to the Make New Connection wizard’s next screen that asks you to specify what telephone number you would like to dial. You don’t need to type in a phone number here, as you are going to be dialing it by hand (or having an operator do so), but Windows won’t let you pass without putting something in as a telephone number. It’s safest simply to put a single comma in as the telephone number. Windows will accept the comma and your modem will simply register it as a pause command. You can leave the Area Code blank and there’s no need to alter the Country Code that is specified.

Click on Next and then on Finish from the next screen and you should be all set to use the connection.

To the establish a connection, double click on the new item that you just created. It will that appear in your Dial-up Networking folder, named Manual Dialing, or whatever name you specified. Enter in your username and password in the opening screen and click on Connect. A new window will then appear that instructs you to manually dial the phone number at that time, and then hit the Connect button on the bottom of that window once you hear the computer on the other end of the phone line. Do as the window instructs. Dial the call manually or have the operator place the call, then hit Connect once you hear the annoying computer carrier. You can then hang up the phone, generally the quicker the better.

Now you are on! Happy browsing!
