Windows computers can become unresponsive at times, stopping your work. There is a way where you can easily get back to your valuable data using Linux. Linux can also penetrate in to the system’s registry and make changes. So, you can retrieve important data from the system before reinstalling Windows. If the problem in your computer is due to a virus, merely cleaning the virus from your computer’s registry will solve the issue. If the problem is something more than that and if you do not have a backup of your valuable data, you can use Linux. The steps that is going to be discussed can be used in any version of Linux CD. Method to use Linux • Create a copy of Linux and reboot the PC • When the CD-ROM prompts, press “Enter” • Open the Terminal Window from the “Application Menu” • Enter “regedit” once the command prompt appears and make necessary changes to the Registry Editor • Choose “hard-disk partition” from the desktop and select a folder to store data • The program “K3B” can be used to write to a DVD or CD and also to drag and drop files to the USB folder You can use Linux to: Create the Live CD The first step involved in this process is to create a Live CD based on Ubuntu. Download the Linux software and burn the file into a CD. When this process is in place, you can also create another CD through the reconstructor to accommodate custom applications that are not built-in. If you are not comfortable with carrying the Live CD around, you can also create a Live USB. This is nothing but a flash drive which contains Linux. This can be booted much faster when compared to the CD. However, the only problem with this is, it does not support all computers. The best solution is to have both the CD and USB. Reset the Password If you are trying to pick up a forgotten password, using Linux is best suggested. Boot up Linux and run the commands which will reset your password. This is so simple to follow and take a look at the various ways you can...
Read MoreHi everybody, today we will discuss how to recover a deleted file after it is removed from your machine. I have done, you have done it, and essentially everybody has done it. At some point in time, we have hit the delete option and emptied out the recycle bin only to find that an important document or picture has been accidentally deleted. Depending on the importance of the document, panic can start to set in as we realize that something we worked on so hard has been so quickly erased. If you act quickly there are times when these files can be retrieved. Accidental deletes do not always come from user action, Sometimes a computer crash can occur with an unsaved document and any work on the document is lost when the computer is restarted. Sometimes a Blue Screen might be the thing to dampen your parade. In all cases, once you find that your document is gone, shut down the computer immediately. I will explain why in the next paragraph. Whenever a file is deleted, it is not actually gone, at least at first. What the deletion process actually does is to mark the sector where the deleted file is as free. This will allow a new file to replace or overwrite the file that you “deleted”. If you continue to use your computer, there is a greater chance that you will overwrite the file and it will be gone forever. Once you shut down your computer, you are going to have to work from a second computer. You will need to remove the hard drive from the system with the file you are trying to recover and you will need an adapter or an external hard drive enclosure so you can connect that drive to your second computer using a USB port. In addition, you are going to have to download and purchase file recovery software. There are lots of choices with different price ranges so choose one that will fit your budget. Once you have your software installed and the drive attached to your computer, you can start searching using the instructions supplied with your chosen download. The process can be tedious and there is no...
